Re: NL400 -- Flush draw -- Turn action -- standard
I like calling the flop, unless he's shown he'll donk/fold an awful lot. His read that he overvalues hands also makes me wanna call, because our implied odds are bigger and he's never folding any king to a flop raise. I'd like a flop raise with the NFD, since it usually gives us 3 more outs and he could also 3bai w/ a worse draw.
As played, I think with the extra gutshot outs we picked up, I like a push. We're about a 3:1 dog against his calling range, so he only needs to fold the turn ~15% to make a shove profitable. |

At the same time, he played such weird lines like donking the flop alot that I thought there was a decent chance that it was an underpair that would fold. However, I'm still like > 50% against an underpair so why should I even try and push it. If he calls my raise, I'm surely less than 50%. And the worst part of the raise is that I should probably call a push from him because I'll be getting 2-1. So I stuck alot of money in the pot when I'm almost surely way behind...raising sucks. Do you mind showing your math for how if he folds 15% of the time that it's profitable? |

Re: NL400 -- Flush draw -- Turn action -- standard
Assuming we are 3:1 dog (you can mess around with what you think is calling range is):
.85(488*.25)+.85(-222*.75) = -$37.50 .15*266 = $40 $40 - $37.50 = $2.50 It's slightly +EV if he folds 15% of the time. 20% is closer to a +5BB decision. |

I take the free card. He has AK-KJ here like always.

Re: NL400 -- Flush draw -- Turn action -- standard
I just call the flop most of the time. You can take away the pot from him that way to.
As played, I'd just take your free card. I doubt he's folding a king anymore. |

Re: NL400 -- Flush draw -- Turn action -- standard
Profitable doesn't mean most profitable. We win roughly .25 * 260 = 65, and sometimes win .25 * 500 = 125. Say that he pays off on spade river 1/2 the time, then we make about $63 in the long run. So FE has to be much higher than 20% for betting to be better.

Re: NL400 -- Flush draw -- Turn action -- standard
Yeah, Paul and I kinda talked about this over aim. How often does he have to fold to make pushing more profitable?

[/ QUOTE ] yeah, this was my point. assuming that all 12 of our outs are clean and we don't have any implied odds, we still need Villain to fold close to 33% for pushing to be more profitable THAN checking. The question is will he fold KQ 33% of the time? edited for math. |
