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..

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.
