Calculating size of Pot.....

[David Ramps]

I am not 100% sure where this post really should go but I am taking a shot here.

In my game last night the following occured and I was curious how it should be read.

One table tournament blinds @ 100 - 200 player A from middle position bumps it up to 600 (Having approx 5500 - 6000 in chips in front of him). Folds all around to the big blind who is short stacked. BB goes all in for his final 1250. Middle position thinks for a little bit and makes the call.

The hand went down and it was Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]-Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] for the bb and A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]-10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] for the middle position raiser. The A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]-10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] won when he hit an A on the flop. The big blind was extremely mad at the call and losing the hand. The players at the table agreed it was approx. 70% - 30% pre-flop and it was a marginal correct call either way.

What is the correct thinking 1) he is betting 1250 to win 2550 (2 to 1 odds) or 2) he is betting a 1250 to win a total of 3800 (3 to 1 odds)?

What are your thoughts?

it certainly shouldnt go here. Either 1 table tournaments, home poker, or poker theory would all be okay places for it imo.

Pot = 600 + 100 + 1450 = 2150, bet to MP is 850 more, about 2.5:1, he needs 29% expected equity to call.

"unlimited hold them rewards bold agressive play" is the only reply this post should be getting in BBV

PITTM is that an acronym for push it to the max?
