Default Nut low, 2nd nut flush draw, gutshot vs low chaser

http://www.pokerhand.org/index.php?p...mp;hand=182515

Just checking my line on this turn with the made low and 2nd nut flush draw.

The player behind me in this hand (jasonsull) is a habitual low chaser. He WILL call with a made low and any kind of high draw even if it means getting quartered, like he did here.

I went ahead and shoved allin here, figuring my draws would be good if they hit. Obviously I didn't expect my Queen high to be good for the high vs jasonsull. Comments?

I wouldn't raise all-in on the turn. You've gotten called on the flop and the turn and are raised all-in. You may already be quartered by the all-in guy. You've just got nut low and the draw. Call & see the river. No reason to raise all-in imo. I'm not too crazy about being raised all-in with just the nut low. So why would I want to re-raise? Call and hope to hit the flush on the river and get your money in there.

If you call the turn are you going to fold the river? Ever?

Absolutely. With just Q-high, someone already all-in, facing a potsize raise into a dry side pot, yes I would fold the river. Easy.

Show me the math. Be sure to pay attention to stack & pot sizes. If anything, it's close, but I'd be very surprised if you can show that a fold is mathematically correct against a reasonable range of hands.

Let me expand a bit on my initial line of thinking on the turn allin raise.

I had no history of play with the allin raiser (sir_rebrum), HOWEVER - he had been playing loosely, and was shortstacked. I figured him for a one-way hand at best, since shortstack shoves from loose players usually are desperation allin bets.

I made the reraise to pressure the guy behind me (jasonsull). Remember that I am out of position against him, and flat-calling gives him the opportunity to repot on the turn or pot the river, assuming that I check unimproved. I wanted to turn the tables. However, now that I've had time to think about this hand, my move was inconsistent with my read on him (see the OP).

Remember that I also have a gutshot straight draw, which adds a small bit of equity.

Say I just flat-call the turn. The river bricks. Check? Small bet?

Ironically, I had a strikingly similar hand again today.

The main difference here is that the turn lead put me nearly allin anyway, but I thought back to your advice on this particular hand and just flat called.

And - LOL - my Queen high took the high AGAIN, this time in a 3-way showdown. I love it.

It is close.

Thinking about it and some rough ad-hoc pen & paper calculations assuming 40% 40% 20% where 40% equals the chance of the opponent A) All-in opponent has nut low and B) River opponent has nut low and wins high and C) 20% equals the chance that your nut low wins half the pot, it becomes very close. If you believe the nut low will hold up more than 20% of the time, you definitely should call on the river.

Interesting.
