Tight tables and pot odds for drawing hands

#1 09-08-2005, 12:10 AM

So, I ventured to the 5/10 tables and noticed that I just couldn't get pot odds for backdoor anything. Just fold each time (with exception of occasionional semibluff)?

Am I the only won who doesn't understand what your question is?

Backdoor draws are worth about 1.5 outs. This means u need pot odds of 30-1 to continue. don't think you'd find this often at any limit.

Yeah that wasn't very clear. Basically, at the tight tables at the higher end of low limit.

So, let's take a hypothetical situation (5/10).

I have KdQs, I raise preflop, everyone folds but the BB. So pot is 22. Flop is Ac, 3h, 7d. So I have backdoor straight. Opponents bets. Pot is too small to coninue (unless I semi-bluff, which TOP recommends for tight tables).

Another (flush draw):

I have JdTd on the button. I bet. BB calls. Everyone else folds/has folded. Pot is 12. Flop is 2d, 3d, 5h. BB bets. Pot is 17. So I am not getting pot odds for flush draw.

What limit did you move from, 0.02/0.04?

In the KQo hand it depends on where you raised it from, your table image, and any reads to play this.

In the JTs hand you also have pair outs to go with your flush draw, BB is often betting with a draw, you can use your position to take the pot away from him a good amount, and I would raise PF with JTs on the button.
