Default How\'s my line?

I was getting almost 3:1 odds to call on the river, I figured, a flush would most likey have bet the turn for value hoping I had a king. If the villain has a king or boat it's quite a strange line they've taken.

Villain is 22/10/2.26

You have some showdown value and you only have to be right here 25% of the time to break even on this call. I think 8x will bet here sometimes. Maybe 99,TT, weaker Jx. So well-played, but don't be surprised if you lose.

I think after the turn check he's going to be betting a fairly wide range on the river, so I would definitely call.

When we need to make a decision at the end, there's $15 in the pot. Say we call four times and we lose 3 of them, we lose a total of 3 x $5 = 15$. The fourth we win, and we win the $15 dollars in the pot to break even. So winning once of every 4 times that we call is sufficient to break even.

Its a thin spot but you'll see a mid PP here a decent amount of the time, and your odds are good. I call and reload.

On the math part. You have to call 5 dollar in a 15 dollar pot. That is 1:3. So 1/(1+3) = 1/4 = 25% is needed to be good.

Other example:
If you have to call 10 dollar in 15 dollar pot, you are getting 2:3. So you need 2/(2+3) = 40% to break even.

This is the reason minbetting vulnerable hands on dangerous boards is bad. Say your opponent holds AA on a 2 flush board , you hold the nutflush draw, the pot is $2. Villain bets $0,20 into that pot " to extract value". You now have to win the pot 0,2/(0,2+2,2) = 1/12 ~ 8%. Since you will make your flush 33% of times you can profitably draw to the flush.

If villain bets pot, you need 2/(2+2)=50% to break even and a call based on pot odds alone is not justified. Of course other reason for calling may be compelling, such as implied odds and position.

This is real thin. It'd be an easy call if the diamonds hadn't completed. And it'd be a little easier if you had AJ.

As is I'm not really sure it matters too much. I think I'd take a quick peak at his river aggression and make a decision based on that.
