Default Re: Top pair, flush draw, multi-way

Just working through a few examples. Let's say you get two callers: a set of sevens and TPTK (black). You're 32% to win the pot. You more than triple up. Push, if you can see the cards.

If you run into AJd and a set of sevens, you're stuffed. That's the worst case scenario.

Pretty much any other odds check you can run of reasonable villain hands that would call a push, three way, you're getting the odds.

Heads up, let's say you run into a set of sevens, you're still 32%. It's not quite the odds you need so if the hands are face up you fold but it's still close. As we can't put villain on a set, I'll take the chance.

Let's assume black TPTK calls, we're 46% - making our play correct. If he has Ad, we're down to 40% so it's close, but still correct. If he has AJd, we're 50/50. If KJd, we're 43%

etc. etc.

I actually make the move with the odds, FE, and stack building in mind.
