    This next one is another one of those tricky spots that I find myself getting into. Should I have just not called the flop bet? And I figure the river raise is so small compared to the pot; but I don't know if I am beat more times than I win if I call..

    In hand #1

    You look to have 9 outs (flush), 3 outs (low straight) and possible 6 outs (for a higher pair) - that gives you 12 outs for sure and maybe as many as 18...depending on the player you are against. The pot has $4.95 on the turn and you have $8.55 left - your opponent has you covered. Your opponent still doesn't know what you have - and he could lay down top pair with a raise from you. I think you have to raise here - I would say pot....but then that is over half your stack - so maybe All In is right here...I don't think you slow down.

    Hand #2
    You have to call here...he might have you beat with the Full House, but I would at least call here since I don't think he has the higher straight (probably would have raised preflop) and he could have a J, two pair or trips. An interesting situation has happened though - the two people who called you certainly don't have you beat (maybe have a J for the split)....you could come over the top to $3.60 and try and win a sidepot to cover the losses if the shortstack has you beat. I can't imagine canuck or ticke having the higher straight or full house...they surely would have reraised.

    1) He's offering you a free card to beat him, be a nice guy and take it.

    2) Call
  4. #4
    Um... In 2 the board has gone 3 to a flush and the board is paired. I don't think you should bet out so much here. Just pray for a free/cheap showdown.

    #1. The pot is quite fat, you have flushdraw+overs, check/raise all-In if someone calls then so be it, you are favourite against most hands and if someone has a monster then well 30% insurance policy.

    #2. This is soo crappy second-best potential draw, I'd muck it on flop...

    The river in hand 2 is an easy check and think about a call. Probably safe just to dump the turkey on the flop.
  7. #7
    I don't know what I was looking at....didn't see the third club on the river....definately check and maybe call on the river on Hand #2.
  8. #8
    Hand 1 - I tend to be a bit on the weak side here - but you paid for a free card on the flop and were successful in chasing off the guy with position on you - free card city - if you don't improve, you lost $2.10, no biggie - or you win if he was chasing a weaker flush and didn't pair up. I hope for the latter and that if we both make a flush he's paying me well. If I hit an A or K and he checks I can bet/fold to unreasonable reraise, or just call a river bet.

    Hand 2 - woops board paired on the turn and flush showed up - check/fold most likely with 4 people still in the hand. Not really worried about the FH here or even being outstraighted, but the flush is a different matter.

    you have no implied odds on the first hands draw, just fold the flop, you'll lose money in the long run by getting in the situation you got into.
