[5NL] AJo on button, 2P on paired flop.

There is only 2combinations of this even if it was possibility. We can discount some of this though and discount some more w/o the flop raise.

I'm sorry if this seems lazy, as I'm not exactly sure what to look for.

Would you please link to something which explains counting combinations and using these to make decisions (as you have said lots in previous posts) as it's something that I'd like to have a proper look at.

Hmm, OK I never take that into account, always forget. Still, as unlikely as it is, villain could be slow playing a 7 it's not like it's a super wet board so I don't think we should rule it out completely.

@ above, thanks a lot. I would have looked myself but I just didn't really know what to search for.

I do agree with what you are saying as it could happen, however instead of saying things like this you should look to find what he is talking about and do some studying to see how it actually impacts on the game.

At this level it may be pretty minor as people do loads of weird shit with stuff, however at higher levels where people are actually playing ranges against ranges then it's good to know the chances of what people could have and how this effects your decision making.

Counting combos is super important no matter what stakes you are playing. If you are on the river you can easily estimate your equity since you are either winning/losing or chopping but that's a little more complicated. Just count the number of combos you are ahead and the number of combos you are behind.
