It is only a coinflip if pairing one of your cards will put you ahead, otherwise you are 2:1 dog, however if you are shortstack generally speaking you need to gamble here |
In this situation my ace was actually paired on the board. I didn't have a kicker though, i think my hand was an a-4s or something around there. I had two suited rags with the ace on the river. Think I ended up getting beat by a-j.
I figure you roughly have a 50% chance going into the turn and still 25% shot on the river, plus you are holding an ace. I only an underdog to a-10+(approx., I'm not sure the exact cards in the flop), and not too much to be scared of pushing.
Or am I totally wrong? I've only been playing poker for about a month, and I came in with zero knowledge before hand.
Thanks for the responses.
