Default Re: Coloring up and the effects on an individual hand (question).

See what the scenario is if both players are going to be pushing calling every hand from here on out (not an unlikely scenario with the blinds this high).

If you fold, you should be 12.5 percent to win (three coin flips).

1) Give up here, then win the next three hands

If you call, you're about 9 percent to win, since one of your coin flip is now replaced by a 63-36 situation.

1) You'll have to win as about a 63-36 dog, and
2) Win the next two hands
3) Cut a hole in the box

In either case, you have to win 3 hands. However, your Ax read (if correct) in this particular hand changes your chances somewhat.
