Given the description, button is calling 1 bet pretty much always. 2 bets, probably not so much.

I dont get why poeople think this? button is going to call the 2 bets here prolly 70% of the time

If that's true, then I certainly join your camp. But, 70%, really? He cold-called 3 bets pre-flop - I think a large percentage of the time he's got Ax and no pair, will he really call two bets on the river with that? We might even lose him if he's just got a 9, Dids said "calling station" but we don't really know just how bad he is.

Basically I think we can say he will always call 2 with a K, sometimes with a 9, and rarely with no pair. Is that fair? So, I just don't know if this adds up to the 70% range...

he called 3 cold PF, that screams PP or Big ace, hes done nothing but call multiple bets post flop, he isnt going to suddenly wake up and realize his hand sucks now. He also is always calling 2 if he has any K and prolly a big part of the time with a 9. If he just has a big ace that called the turn with a flush draw, hes prolly folding for 1 bet.

either way it doesnt matter, you should be raising this HU vs UTG, the fact youve got 1 more player in who likes to call just makes it all the mo better.

The overcall isn't guarantee and has a value of less than one BB. The raise is worth more than 1 BB.

I pondered this one for a while. Of course the first sentence is true. I think I've been convinced that the second sentence is true.



And fizzle, thanks for writing out the equation, great work.

You guys have won me over.
