Default Re: 33 in MP on a turbo Math help needed

Ok, 7.5:1 to hit a set thanks. Do you have pokerstove to run 33 vs say any pair TT - AA or would the odds be the same?

My thought was I score big if I hit the set, otherwise it's check fold.

The odds are the same unless somebody else has a 3.

You could run your 33 through poker stove against a couple of opponents and their ranges. But, I just know instinctively that your odds are real low. If your opponents don't have an overpair, they both certainly have over cards which means you could be up against as many as four over cards. This is not a good thing for your low pair. Also, you could very easily be up against an overpair, making things worse for your 33.

Therefore, you are playing this hand for set value only. "No set, no bet!". So, your odds of winning are 7.5-1 minus the times they hit a better hand than your set.
