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...

Re: Question 17
You can't deny the great odds but you're going to be first to act every street. You're very very rarely going to hit a perfect flop, even if you're lucky you'll get a flush draw or straight draw and being first to act in that situation is no fun. Even if you do hit your flush it's going to be a very low flush, and if anyone else has clubs they have position on you to take your stack. I love great odds with suited gappers as much as the next guy, but not in the SB and especially not with low ones.

Question 18
Tournament. Blinds are 100-200. A novice call station raises UTG to $500. Unknown player flat calls in middle. You all have about 20,000 chips.
You hold are in the cutoff seat with: A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Question 19
You're in the BB. Blinds are $1/$2 and everyone at the table has $50,000 in front of them. It is folded to the button, who raises to $7 but accidentally turns over his cards in the process.
You see that he holds: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] He knows that you saw his holecards. He did not see your hand.

Re: Question 18
The point is that he knows you saw his AA, but he doesn't know what you have. Suppose, for the sake of argument, that you call with any two cards, and the flop comes 8s3cJd. You go all-in. If he knows that you know he has AA and you go all-in anyway, what will he think you have? You either have a set, two pair, or you're bluffing. Will he call you?

Re: Question 18
On 18:
If you've been playing aggressively, 800 or 1000 seems to announce that you have AA. If you flat call, you'll get at least two and probably three opponents, making it more likely that you'll end up getting beat. I would be worried that 2300 would get no callers. So I thought that 1600 would be best to isolate the best hand and hope to stack it.
