A three-card middle run with a dangler is crap in a raised pot.
And I obviously flopped top set or a nut flush draw...
And yet he still fucking calls me off the flop, knowing that half of his outs were tainted and that if he hit, I had big river redraws.

I ran the numbers on cardplayer and you had pretty nice edges preflop and on the flop, where most of the betting was done. So you you should feel good of how you played it (I know that's usually only a small consolation).
62% PF edge.
66% Flop edge.

Middle Pair, low flush, and gutshot str8 draw is a weak hand to be calling that big a bet with, considering you could easily have a better flush draw or top set. But your hand may not have been as transparent as you think, though. All he had to go on was 2 pot bets. I think any rational player would have laid his hand down, but if he put you on aces which could fit your betting pattern, then his call would be correct, because if you had Aces with no other draw he would be a 2-1 favorite.
Who knows what he was thinking (or not), but that's my two cents! |

Bear in mind that even if he knew EXACTLY what the bettor had, he's still getting about the right pot odds. The pot is laying him 2:1 because this is, after all, pot limit, and his hand is 33% likely to win. If he hits on the turn any extra money he gets off of you is gravy (i.e. implied value for his flop call); if he misses he still has an easy all in call for what little money he has left.
This is an imaginative hand to play and a borderline call, probably made by a fish, but it's actually still very close to correct. If he had any compelling reason to think his flush draw was dead (of course - it often is in Omaha, with just middle cards) he should have definitely laid it down. |
