Default Re: Question 17

Hi Mets fan (what the heck is a fin BTW?)

Not to be difficult, just to understand better...

I understand that SB would be getting 9-1 in this position, but I remain unconvinced that this is a good call. The reason is that with so many callers, it seems extremely unlikely that one could ever get the hand to pay off. Someone is very likely to get a piece of the flop, and therefore in a large share of the relatively rare instances where end up with an OESD or a FD, that someone will bet enough to make it unprofitable to see the turn or river.

So you'd have to bank on really fantastic implied odds on the times when you succeeded in hitting a monster, because it would actually happen very rarely.

But I'm happy to acknowledge that I'm wrong here...
