Re: Very Familiar
Without any reads, and in a small pot, this really reeks of spewage.
We need to have a number of things go in our favor after the flop 3-bet to make this a profitable play. Given the lack of reads - we have a very low accurracy in predicting the probabilities with which these things will happen. Easy fold. |

[ QUOTE ] I just looked at the explanation for the SSH recommendation for its similar hand (p. 271), and there are some differences I believe to be important. (1) The pot isn't as big. (2) The initial bettor was not a PFR. So it's hard to put him on a big ace we could buy a couple of outs from. In the posted hand, I don't really know what's best. [/ QUOTE ] How big was the pot? I don't have the book with me. I'm glad this isn't turning out to be forum clutter because I felt bad posting it. [/ QUOTE ] In SSH, it was 6 players to the flop for two SBs. On the flop, there's a bet from the PFR, a call, a raise, and then two folds. So there are 16 SBs in the pot when it's our action. By the way, in SSH we do hold exactly A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. The board is K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. So that much matches up very well. |

Re: Very Familiar
i think the pot was bigger in the book. you have to fold to a raise here while in the hand quiz you would need to cold call

Let's say that we think we'll get a free card here about 85% of the time with a 3 bet. I think that's conservative. [/ QUOTE ] I think a conservative estimate would've been around 50% of the time. Even when you do get a free card and then hit by the river - you're still going to need to recoup bets with both aggressors on your immediate right. I think you're not going to get the return when you make it there on the river and UTG+1 leads the river and you either raise and hope to get 1 extra BB from him or call to try and get 2BBs (maybe 3) on overcalls. |

Re: Very Familiar
As others have said, the lack of the PFR here makes the hand play totally differently. I don't think the pot size matters all that much since it's big enough to continue either way, but the chance that UTG has an A that beats us and that he might fold if we raise is important. In this hand, he's MUCH more likely to have a made hand than an UI A.

Re: Very Familiar
Folding here is just terrible if you have more then about 24% equity. Look at what happens when we have 25% equity and have to put 3 bets in on the flop and 1 in on the turn. Notice that we still have 25% equity on the turn bet since we will have sometimes hit our hand.
EV = 21 SB * .25 - 5 SB = + .25 SB + implied If we get a free card... EV = 15 SB * .25 - 3 SB = + .75 SB + implied So if we think that we have more then about 5-5.5 outs here, folding is dead wrong in this spot. If we have 20% equity, it is a .8 SB mistake if we have to call 5 SB to see the river. If we just have to put in 3 SB, it is a breakeven proposition. With 5.5 surefire outs, it is almost impossible to give us less then about 22% equity here. Add in the times that the aces will be good (and implied odds) and this looks like a +EV spot for our hero.
