Live 5/5 NL AKo (reverse) implied odds?

[Woolygimp]

I'm recalling the hand based on the information given to me as it was played by someone else.

The table is very loose with constant straddles and several people to a flop.

5/5 NL live on a loose table, you pick up AKo in MP. UTG straddles and there are a couple callers, and you raise to $60 from MP. CO calls, and UTG+1 calls.

Flop is Q T 3 rainbow. Pot is ($200).

UTG+1 leads into you for $60.
You have $400 remaining, both villains cover. UTG+1 is very fishy and small bets are common for this table for people with any pair from top to bottom.

good question i think. personally i think its marginally call. i guess pokerstove is the way to properly answer this as given strategy goes out the window to an extent as opponents may well be calling big raises with any Q, any T, then you need to work out equity using pokerstove of being effectively all in here vs the two hand ranges (which are probably very wide).

i think folding here is a bit too weak, however raising, which on a flop like this many would normally advocate, is far less attractive given the low fold equity.

therefore i think calling is slightly better, also becuase it may look weak folding to this bet when you've raised preflop and therefore may hamper getting paid fully in later hands, something you want to ensure happens on a loose table, especially live when people may notice a largeish raise preflop - fold to small bet on flop.

Hmm i dont think u understand the meaning of reverse implied odds...

I'd just fold

Make it 260 and call a push. Especially if UTG+1 isnt especially tight and your image is decent.

If this were online I'd probably advocate a push, but in these soft live table games I really don't like it.
