Default Re: Is it a mistake to fold here pf???

OP, a good rule of thumb for small pps like this is:

if the effective stack in the hand is 10x the raise amount, then calling for set value is +ev. (here the raise is to 1.50, so if you stand to win $15 or more from him, you should call.

Actually...it's more like.....when you flop a set you need to be able to on average make 11.7 times the amount that you invested preflop in order to be able to profitably set mine.


Rememeber you won;t always win when you flop a set.


DBitel did the math that came out to that somewhere in small stakes. I don't know where this thread is. For some reason it's the one really good thread that I can no longer ever refind and isn't in any collections/archives or w/e that I know of.
