Mathematically, you're getting exactly 29.5% equity to make a 46% pot odds call - it is incorrect to call. You're never making money here (if I've done my math correctly). That's why I said if the other guy calls, all the more reason to make the call; the other guy calling gives you 31.5% pot odds on the call, veryThe Poker Meisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18289059101454598371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-7854396715518495792014-01-18T22:55:42.595-05:002014-01-18T22:55:42.595-05:00Thank you sir.

Doing the math was kind of tricky because if he's showing AQcc I can't count on the flush draw. For some reason I saw it as a coin flip and since I had doubled thru UTG few hands earlier I decided to keep his money :) If he flipped over his cards after going all in and showed 99 would you fold?Acehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817046099646546543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-15931976152562852822014-01-17T09:55:25.989-05:002014-01-17T09:55:25.989-05:00It seems like it's a math question, not really...It seems like it's a math question, not really a read-based question. Let's assume he has two types of hands here: Ace high (and /or a pair of 9's or 5's), or he has a pair of Q's+. FWIW, he could also be drawing JT (or turned a backdoor better flush) like you, but let's keep that out of the argument for the moment.<br /><br />If he has second or third pair --- or Ace The Poker Meisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18289059101454598371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-35707803086688739342014-01-16T22:46:37.552-05:002014-01-16T22:46:37.552-05:00PM, the following hand came up and your analysis w...PM, the following hand came up and your analysis would be appreciated. UTG (stack 160) makes it $15, I call with Tc,Jc (stack 450), big blind (stack 200) calls. Flop comes down 5h,9c,Qd, BB checks, UTG bets $30, I call, BB calls. Turn is 3c, BB checks, UTG goes all in for $115, and it's my turn...WWPMD? Thanks. Now, here are the side notes. UTG lost a big pod recently and is drinking.

Short stack strategy works, but, you need be very selective with the hands and the money making potential is limited by the short buy-in when you hold a monster hand. There are so many tables to choose from even for 2/5 at MDL, so, no reason to stick to the same table if the action is not that great.<Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-88401361706796059842014-01-03T07:20:21.108-05:002014-01-03T07:20:21.108-05:00Interesting.
