Ok here is the post I wanted to give so others and point and laugh at my line of thought.

Two questions about this section first though,

1.) At the bottom of page 59 he says that we had to risk 3000 to win 1000. I dont understand how this is so.


2.) Kind of a side note: Anyone know why he calls it, "the hammer"? I feel like im missing some sort of visual cue..

3 folds, Hero calls $0.02, 3 folds, corbaty raises to $0.08, Hero calls $0.06

The table has been pretty weak/tight for the most part and looking back I should have opened, but that's beside the point for this thread. Villain is 13/13 over only 30 hands and has cbet 75% of the time. I called in position for set value expecting his range to be something like: {88+,KT+,Ax,QJ,JT}.


Flop: ($0.17, 2 players)
corbaty bets $0.12, Hero raises to $0.24, corbaty folds

As previously stated, the cbet was expected whether he hit on the flop or not. I figure he would call/re-raise a raise if he had a queen, queens beat, or maybe FD and would fold with anything else. So of the 24 possible hands I put him on, I'm guessing he would fold about 18 of them (75%). With this in mind I think my reraise, should have been around or slightly less than 75% pot (around $0.20). Because I obviously couldnt raise by that much, I went for .24 to win .29 which makes the decision overall unprofitable.
