This +EV? (scary board and facing all-in)

InfectGadget · #1 07-03-2005, 03:56 PM

Hello, my first hand post here at 2+2, hope this will contribute to someone.

And while im at it, is there a hand converter for Cryptologic hands? I tried my best to do this tidy without one...

Dealt to Hero [Kh Ad]
Villian: calls $0.25
1 Fold
Hero: raises to $1
5 Folds
xxx: calls $0.85
xxx: calls $0.75
Villain: calls $0.75
----- FLOP ----- [9h Kc Ac]
3 Checks
Hero: bets $2
2 Folds
Villain: calls $2
----- TURN ----- [9h Kc Ac][Jh]
Villain: checks
Hero: bets $3
Villain: calls $3
----- RIVER ----- [9h Kc Ac Jh][8h]
Villain: bets $9.90 and is all-in
Hero: calls $9.90
----- SHOW DOWN -----
Villain: shows [Js 8c] (Two Pairs, Jacks and Eights, Ace high)
Hero: shows [Kh Ad] (Two Pairs, Aces and Kings, Jack high)
Hero collected $32.15 from Main pot

How is my play here? I guess i have a bit of experience and a decent amount of hands under my belt, so i could easily remember various beats

that looks very similar to this. Like he had been calling with Axs, hitting flush on river, getting a straight with QT or had a set all the time

(see hand under) I remembered that hand right away when he suddenly went allin.

I guess players at 25NL like to draw to flushes, so i accounted for this and leaned mostly towards folding. But since i didnt give him the correct odds to call to draw for the flush, do you call the river bet, thinking he has made a mistake calling with the flush draw if he should have done that, or is this a mistake to?

Just wondering how my play is on these hands. They have been bothering me for awhile. Im also wondering about my question when there is a possible flush out there, but your opponent didnt get the right odds to call on the flop/turn.

If you'd like to know if your play is +EV just make a simple table with a range of hands you could be facing, how much you will win/lose vs. each hand and do some math. I think your play is fine here BTW.
