Simple Odds Question

verneer · #1 08-04-2007, 06:11 PM

100BB stacks. I open with AK and am 3-bet by a loose player. I 4-bet 40% of my stack. He shoves and shows me KK before I make any decision. It costs me the remaining 60% of my stack to call.

I'm 30% to win with AK vs. his KK.

Am I getting the odds to call?

odds are 60:140 or 1:2,3. that is, you do get the odds.

Because I'm not sure exactly what the math is like. Is it $60 to play for $140 or $60 to play for $200? Also I wasn't sure about the odds.

Do you have some insight?

You sound like a bitter jerk. I had a legitimate question and got an answer. Both of your posts contributed nothing to the thread other than pissing me off.

Anyhow ... thanks for the two legit answer.
