Default Re: AQ pre-flop button 3-bet, then screwed up the flop

Your flop call was perfect. There's absolutely no point in raising this pot. You don't have an equity edge againt the other 3 opponents at this point, and your raise isn't pushing anyone out. Thus, you're only inflating the pot.

meh... 15SB, I have a gutshot, 2 overcards (which may not be 100% good I admit), and a backdoor flush draw - AND I'm on the button. The just screams for a raise, and keep in mind I'm not trying to push anyone out.

Pot size has nothing to do with whether you should raise or not.


The fact is, there are 4 people in this pot, meaning you need more than 25% equity to raise.

25% equity is 3:1, which means you need more than about 11 effective outs. There is no way you have 11 cleans outs here.

Calling the flop is the best play. Period.
