Another TT Hand

[Dynasty]

This sim is not very useful. You need to see how TT plays with the three cold-callers. If you give them reasonable hands (that's being generous) like 65s, 44, and J9o (one more overcard to TT, you get a better feel for TT's equity in this pot.

I actualy ran one after that with 'reasonable' hands, 65s and 55 being two of them and QJo being the other...nearly the same result.

Thanks,
Joe

If you fool around with this stuff, you'll see something valuable.

QJ kills TT's equity because all four overcards are out there and live. However, if you put AJ into the mix, TT's value goes up by deadening the Aces a bit and taking away the dangerous Q. If neither a Queen or Jack is in opposing players' hands, TT does great.

VERY NICE!

Should I consider such a cold call in this situation? Do you? I was basing my arguement on UTG's raise, granted not all these situations can be completely explained in this vacuum, however, I believed a set was needed to win and the 3-cold callers were borderline. Now, I'm just starting to incorporate implied odds into my play and it's situations like this I find myself on the fence. I appreciate your help.

Great sim,
Joe
