Default Re: Poker math quiz: evaluate this hand.

I sometimes spite-call this flop raise, but it's just incorrect. Our outs are just Aces and Kings, and even those aren't sure outs (AJ and KJ are very much in the villain's range). If you are convinced your AK are good, you're calling 7 into about 40, but your odds to hit on the turn are a little more than 1-10. Seems bad, and calling definitely commits you.


On the turn, you have to call 11 into 50, so about 5-1, which which is approximately your flush odds, but it's still a bit lower than is correct, plus your flush might be dead to his A-high flush, so I can't call here either, I don't think.


If we step back and look at the whole hand from the flop, once he minraises, he's essentially pushing. From here it looks like you have to call his 7+his 11 stack, 18 dollars into a 50 dollar pot, with 6 outs, which may be possible iffy on all counts. No thank you.
