Re: 1st hand of Hendon Mob sattelite, tricky flop
You have to calculate two different probabilities:
1) What are the odds that Villain has
a) overcards
b) a hand that beats us (like 99)
c) a hand we beat
and building upon this
2) What are the odds that Villain
a) c-bets with overcards
b) folds a hand that beats us
c) calls with a hand we beat.
Iīll make a rather short shot at some percentages (please donīt take it as an overly precise assumption - Iīm doing this at work [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]):
1a) 20% (I would expect him to raise bigger here)
1b) 70%
1c) 10% (I would expect him to call here)
2a) 50% (remember that he bets oop into two opponents)
2b) 15% (your raise is too weak here, maybe it would change with a push)
2c) 75% (here your weak raise comes to its advantage)
You see, the odds for your flop-raise arenīt very favourable:
=> 25% he has oc and c-betted with.
=> 10% he has a better hand and folds to your raise.
=> 7.5% he is beaten and calls us.
