Well, there is no way in hell I believe I can fold here......my only reads on this guy is that lizardking blew a whole buying drawing dead to chase an ass end straight....and I had taken Kid Ryan's money the day before so he probably wasnt too happy with me and maybe trying to get his money back since he found my table..........

I think they have to have something better than TPTK to make this play, even at these limits I dont see that too often....I just could not put these guys on a hand.....maybe a flopped straight, but would he overbet that much?...and the smooth call scared me.

Any thoughts?....if you dont want to answer because getting in the mind of a microlimit player is tough I will understand....

so I felt I either call looking for a boat or push AI....but I just could not put them on a range of hands.....

The straight, an OESD, two pair, underset, overpair (TT-) or a flush draw are all possible holdings for these guys. I like your chances...35ish% (iirc) to hit the boat which beats everything and a fair chance to beat what they have. Heck, if they both call your push 35% to win is +EV right there (barally).

Up my bankroll - buy Saints Row.

You know your whole stack (or near it) is going in by the river if you call. With the straight on the board I might fold it. 7 outs to a boat(or better)...only $.5 invested. With the flush draw and straight draw on the board I likely fold assuming I won't make the boat.

Stakes: Playing $0.10/$0.25 NL

7 outs on the turn, 10 on the river (3 added to pair the turn card) to hit boat+. Damnit, now I need to get out the calculator again...
40/47 * 36/46 = 1440/2162 ~= .666, so 33.3% to make boat+, yar math.

he doesnt need outs...you cant be afraid of a straight here thats ridiculous. sure he may have it, but if you fold everytime you have a set on a straight board then you are definitely losing a TON of money. they could easily be doing the same exact thing with: 45, 56, 67, 78, 44, 88, 99, 75, and any 2 hearts. if anyone doesnt push here you are insane.

Correct, if someone currently has you beat it's break-even if you get them both to go with you (and they both have you covered, minor detail there).

But that's all in the frame of they probably don't have you currently beat. They're probably on the draw, in which case it's a matter of looking at their combined draws vs their individual draws. Let's assume one has an OESD and the other's on the flush draw. OSED has 8 clean outs to improve over you, flush draw has 8 clean outs as well (you're holding the 7h). They share 2 of them. So individually they have 8, together they have 14. 8 outs is 31.5% to hit, 14 is 51.2.

Just to make things easier on me, let's assume you all started with $10 (close enough to reality here). Pre-flop is minor compared to the post flop stuff, so let's keep that money live. You're going to push at "???", let's see the EV for if one calls vs if both call. (Also falsly assuming if they hit an out that you won't hit yours to come over - sue me)
One caller - final pot $23, your contribution $10, your chance of winning 68.5%
EV: .685 * 13 - .315 * 10 = 5.755
Two callers - final pot $30, your contribution $10, your chance of winning 48.8%
EV: .488 * 20 - .512 * 10 = 4.64

So in this case it's better if you only get one caller.

But that was the worst case - the two draws shared as few outs as possible. If they're both on the same OESD their combined outs is 8 and the EV for two callers over one is 10 more---huge.

Up my bankroll - buy Saints Row.
