There is no clear cut answer to determine your equity against an opponent. You must assign him a range and then go on from there. Obviously he can have many hands, and your holding differs greatly between these possible combinations of cards of his. Also, obviously this is very time consuming and insanely hard to do right then at the table. You can memorize odds charts and whatnot to give you a helping hand.

Assuming you are currently behind to a pair and are not up against another flush draw, you're about a 4.2:1 dog from flop to turn. You're currently getting 2:1 odds on your flush draw call. Obviously you aren't gettin adequate current odds from the point, so now you must rely on implied odds. You need to make up 2.2:1 in odds against your call, which is $13.30.

Do you think he'll pay off this much if you hit on the turn? Keep in mind you can easily blank the turn and check-fold to another bet.

Of course, all of this is null and void since he does not have any more money behind. Now since he's all in and you're closing the action, the answer becomes harder, since you now have outs from flop til river instead of only 1 street.

Assign him a range and run the math..

Fold pre-flop, fold to the flop push. Your only outs are diamonds and even they may not be clean.

Being that this is a push, it's pretty easy to fold. Best case is that he doesn't have a better flush draw and you need 2:1. You are just about getting it here - but that is the best case.

I could see the villain C/R ing with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]x [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] You have worse odds here. Also a set or two pair could make a boat even if you make your flush. I'd call if I was getting 3:1

Also I agree with folding this junk pre-flop.

Easy flop fold. Basically, just remember with 2 more cards coming you have about a 1/3 chance of hitting your flush.

Also, like everyone else said, fold preflop. In short-handed games, the magnitude of the card value matters a lot more than the suits.

You'll very rarely get proper drawing odds in games like these. Plus, you're in lousy position!

Why would he be kidding? Why would you call the flop?

Cause check-folding the flop is folding to the original $1.25 bet.
