Default Re: Button and BB get HU: What\'s your read???

BB is likely trying to protect something, while also possibly finding out if you are still interested in the pot. This is not a big hand most of the time, unless it is a random two pair looking to 3 bet. If I were in this spot I would call down since we are beating most of villans range here.

Hmmm, I just looked at the current results: even though 41% think they are up against a pair of kings, only 12% want to fold their paired Jx [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Guys, you are getting 3.25-to-1 immediate odds (maybe 5.25 implied odds) on a 5-outer (at most)! That translates into at least 8.2-to-1 odds that you need to get here!

Is this result strange or have I misunderstood the whole concept of outs & odds? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Can anybody explain that, please?

Thanks!

You asked what we think the "MOST LIKELY" hand is. Not one of us is 100% sure. There is enough doubt to continue.
