50NL equity checkup
 

I forget, can I call this even if I'm positive he has the flush? I'm pretty sure I can (and I did). Should I have raised PF?

You're normally 28% to hit the FH if you have a set on the flop. You're getting 2:1, which is roughly 33% so you don't quite have the odds IF you are sure he has the flush.

Once you add in hands like 44, AhQ this makes the call about break even.

If it is -EV then it isn't by much. I probably raise to $20, this means he makes a bigger error if he calls with the flush draw, and makes it a better call for you if he pushes. (Better as in you have better odds, and the call is then clearly +EV)

I did the calcs and got 33% to improve by the end. How'd you get 28%?

limp is fine reraising is bad because the only hand u have beat thats calling is 44 or maybe Ah and like eggpie said its close to a call if you think 44 and Ahx is in his pushing range then call. If hes a nit and only pushes a flush then its a fold
