Did I overcount my outs?
 
Table is loose, a few are aggressive.

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, Hero calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

(I normally raise a high pair, but with so many callers in front of me, I figured I wasn't going to drive out a K-x or A-x and I would have to chuck my hand anyway if the flop gave out overcards without a queen. I had also been pushing high pairs earlier, so this looked like an opportunity to mix it up and hope to win a lot of bets if the queen hits.)

Flop: (13 SB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font>
SB checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, MP2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB folds, UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP2 folds, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 3-bets</font>, Hero calls.

(Obviously, when I got bet-reraised I knew what I was up against. I was going to need to pair the board to win. At the time, I was doing a quick 1+6 count of the possible outs (the queen plus the other three suits of the flop cards) to justify calling this down. That was a mistake with respect to the King because that's a likely card that got folded by at least one of the other players. But at this point, to call the reraise, the pot is offering immediate odds of 9-1. I'd be lying if I did the math during the heat of the hand, but I was figuring that if I missed pairing the board on the turn, that would create more outs to pair the board on the river, which would make up for the effective odds for calling one bet on the turn.)

Turn: (9.50 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Grunch,

No, I can't say that you did. When you flop a set, you really do have a million outs to call with, even if a player flops a flush. BTW, I can't say that I've ever heard anyone say that you should discount outs due to the possibility of someone having folded one. Someone could have folded a five preflop, too; hands that fold are completely unknowable. I could see someone playing KQ this way. Possibly even AK, if he were aggressive postflop and kinda passive preflop. In fact, I isolation raised a fish earlier this evening that limped in with AK. Unfortunately, I was isolation raising with KTs and a K came on the flop. The fish went nuts, 3-betting the flop and betting the turn and river. Not pretty. And not terribly fishy, either, now that I think about it. Whatever.

Anyway, you were definitely getting odds to call the flop and turn, imho, and, getting 12.5-1, I would call the river, too. I doubt he put you on QQ, seing as how you just cold-called preflop...

Gack! You push big pairs because you've got big equity. 3 cold-callers are 3 people that aren't going to fold no matter how many bets they have to call. RAISE!

No, you didn't. This could just as well be AK, in which case you're ahead, or another jackass "mixing it up" with KK (in which case you're drawing nearly dead, btw) or even AA.

This is all nonsense. There is no way on Earth you're going to be able to convince anybody that you should have folded the flop with a set of queens. Just stop trying. You don't need to count outs, here, either; just focus any brainpower you have available after tending to the needs of sustaining life on finding and clicking the "bet" and "raise" buttons.

If you mean, "did I assume that MP3 had a flush and play like a pu$$y?" then the answer is yes. You need to, at a minimum, find one more raise. Personally, I'd put it in on the turn, and call down if MP3 3-bets.

Re-Raise Preflop

I like the re-reraise on the flop probally should cap "I would at least"

He bets turn I would call down.

IMO not the most credible source

Re: Did I overcount my outs?
 
Grunch:

Well, i still think you should reraise, for value preflop. Most probably you have best hand preflop + great position.

I actually think, that villain does not have the flush that often here. I would rather thinkt that 3 bet means, top pair + flush draw or just A high flush draw. People like to play these aggressive. Of course it sort of depends on the read that you have on this particular villain. So theres no way you can fold it here, i think YHIG a lot more than beat here.

I would just called the reraise on the flop, and raised villain on the turn if no heart pops up.

Right. Three people calling a raise in front of me and I shouldn't guess that at least one of them did so with a king.

As it turned out, the player did flop a flush, which I left out of the original post, but if you're going to dismiss my ability to read hands at the table, I feel compelled to bring it up.

To an extent, yes, but I did call it down even at the river bet. (I didn't show that in the original post, because I thought it wasn't relevant.)

To be honest, this was in the middle of a bad night, and my guess of my op flopping the flush was in part due to the pessimism about some of the online poker hands. It gets exasperating flopping top pair with your AK and spewing until you realize your op flopped an AA333 full house.

Re: Did I overcount my outs?
 
I think that often villian will play AKo this way when he holds the A of the suit. Villian could also have a lower set or two pair. You also don't seem to fully understand how pot equity applies in this situation. Although in this case raising would have lost you money - if you play every situation like this the same you will make money over time. Re-reraise the flop - don't go into call down mode hoping to spike a pair. Asw strong as your hand is there are other people drawing to hands that might beat your set and expensive second best hands. Please charge them.

OK, to put this in hand reading terms, there are simply loads of hands LAGs will bet, cold call and reraise that are behind you here. Even a 5 and a 1 card 4-flush could be a re-raise if they're very LAGgy. All you're afraid of here is KK and the made flush. No evidence of KK pre-flop, so I don't think fear of the flush is enough to go into call down mode.

Re: Did I overcount my outs?
 
There is no excuse for not 3betting PF. You are raising for value. The rationale you gave doesn't make sense.

And I would not assume that you are up against a flush on the flop just because you got 3bet. While it is possible, you could up against a K or somebody with the A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I would cap the flop and call down from the turn if he still leads out. There is no question about whether to fold the river or not, don't. You win this hand a large percentage of the time.

Preflop: You hate money if you don't 3 bet here.

Table is loose and aggressive right. Cap the flop. You can slow down and just call down if he leads the turn. Folding the river would be a pretty giant mistake IMO.

I think this has already been said but you have a very strong hand here, sure this guy might have a flush, but he could also just have the A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], AK, two pair, or a set. Looking for folds in these spots is not the way to go.

So much for your defense of your hand-reading skills. If your opponent flopped the AA333 boat then your AK must have flopped better than top-pair [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]. And, putting a Villan on a specific hand because he 3-bets a flop, just because the flop is scary, is not hand-reading, it's MUBS. I've seen Vills 3-bet this same flop with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]...hell, I might do that myself, depending on what I thought of you.

And, grapabo, this thread is as results-oriented as it gets. Your call-down was correct. Not capping the flop and raising the turn was incorrect.

Here's a thought problem for you: everything is the same in your hand; the action on the flop goes: check, check, check, check, Vill bets, you raise, 4 folds, Vill shows you 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and 3-bets, what's your plan for the rest of the hand?

Is this some kind of special table where they play any K? What about an Ace? If 2 people play a K you want to raise it even more!!! That means there are only 2 Kings left in the deck? Hmm special table = special deck? Is this a 10 King deck? Seriously, you need to 3-bet this PF, the odds are that a king will not flop and you have a huge equity edge. If you would of 3-bet PF, maybe MP3 folds his J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] after trying to limp in cheaply?

Fair enough about the passivity; I could have worked harder to represent a higher flush. I realize that I may have some problems beyond this immediate hand, though. I played with a shorter-than-normal bankroll that doesn't allow room for the aggression you all suggested. If I fix that, I'll feel more comfortable.

bravos1 03-17-2006 04:58 PM

Re: Did I overcount my outs?
 
Also, since your post title referred to outs...
What if SB called your raise on the flop? How would this change your thinking of the hand? What would your play be? Would you be more likely to cap, fold, or call?

This is actually a place where you can count on outs that haven't actually appeared yet.. I will explain my thinking once you reply.

: newbie grunch - I may be off-beam :

I think the conventional wisdom is that this pot is too large not to call the river.

It is by no means certain he has the flush, it is only certain that none of the folders had it ;o)

If I remember correctly the salient quote is "nobody made much money making difficult folds on the river". You've got trips, you could easily have the other guy beat: bearing in mind your read of the table the likelihood of this increases.

Counting full outs, it's the case queen + 6 cards on the flop -- &gt;6-1, pot giving 10-1 to call. If the flop is missed, it will be case queen + 9 cards -- 4.5-1, pot giving 11-2 to call.

If I jam it instead of call, it turns into 13-4 to play the flop and 17-8 to play the turn, plus the chance the villain might fold.

Not quite that small. I had available between 50 and 100 big bets in a limit game (I know the optimum bankroll is larger than that), but I had been getting clobbered in big hands already this night and, well, as you can see, got a little gun-shy.

It is very naughty to be playing at a level where you have only 50 to 100 BB. Please act on what you know. Not acting on what you know to be right is not good.

I think you 'tilt' in the same way I do. Rather than throwing chips around I retreat into my shell. Which, when you consider I play less aggressively than I should anyway, is something to work on.

So if you only had $100 why aren't you playing .10/.20. We poked a little fun at you and I hope your feelings aren't hurt, too bad. But you need to hear this.
If you don't understand getting your money in the pot when you are over 98% certain to have the best hand, then you have some serious studying/thinking to do before you play even one more hand of poker at any stake.

This should be the post of the week. Not to be unduly harsh but this is one of the main leaks in micro limit players hands. Pushing not so small edges. You think to much about the math, priortize your learning you have an aggression problem. A lack of aggression. I understand, I used to be a nut peddler, then one day I was tired of running scared, looking for ways I was beat, and decided not to have a defeatist attitude.

Re-Raise Preflop

I like the re-reraise on the flop probally should cap "I would at least"

He bets turn I would call down.

This is my line too. Cap the flop, call down after that.

You seem to know what you are talking about here.

I see a lot of nut peddling in the micros and it really hurts their bottom line which is $$$$$.

I'm not a NL expert (I'm not even that good at NL IMO and by no means a limit expert either [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]), but I can definitely see nut peddling as a viable line in micro NL because you can make up those missed bets (very easily by my experience). The problems in limit are obvious.. you only have a fixed number of opporunuties to make bets and those bets are of fixed amount.

In limit, you need to push your edges to maximize your returns.
