I thin...I would have probably done the same thing. I think what your problem is is this: you're thinking you could have cut your variance in half by calling or raising smaller. I used to think that way early on in my poker career, but now, I disagree. If you can get your money in as a strong favorite, do it! Variance will even out in the end.

So I called the 10 thinking if we're the only ones in the pot I will have position. Once LP made it 25 AND the other two players called I thought that calling 15 to see a flop with $100 in the pot was OK. In retrospect, action wise this hand could have gone Acehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817046099646546543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-18334778280624979852014-02-05T16:12:27.369-05:002014-02-05T16:12:27.369-05:00You're correct; I transposed my numbers - the ...You're correct; I transposed my numbers - the great thing about multi tasking (writing a response while talking to my wife) - men can't do it very well... :-(The Poker Meisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18289059101454598371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-73704169545948474802014-02-05T13:44:30.571-05:002014-02-05T13:44:30.571-05:00@PM how can it be 55% pot?

It's about 39% if I'm following the action correctly. 100 pre+60 flop bet+275 effective shove from hero= 435 so odds are (435+275):275=~38%<br /><br />@xdex BTN played it horrendously preflop IMO. I don't really like your call pre at all but once you see the flop I think you played it fine. His call is really close.

He has to figure his overs are no good, so he's paying 55% pot for 33% odds... not a great price.

LP calls, Button calls, SB makes it 10, I call (mistake?), LP makes it 25, Button calls, SB calls, and I put in 15 more for a 100 pot. This is were it gets interesting. The flop comes down 7s,8h,Qh. SB bets 60, and I'm sitting here Acehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817046099646546543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-16853033395632897762014-02-04T10:56:13.222-05:002014-02-04T10:56:13.222-05:00Krill doesn't translate to dollars - krill is ...Krill doesn't translate to dollars - krill is the FPPs or FTPs of Seals with Clubs (i.e. the point system for rewards).
