tpwk in sb/pair on the board

Different from the tpwk in bb hand since there is a pair on the flop and my first thought was to try for the c/r as mentioned in the other hand until 3 callers in front of me came. c/r or c/c or just fold?PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cxPreflop: Hero is SB with [Td], [6d].

Even though the pot is bigger here, I think you should check/fold.If someone has a nine, you're drawing to 2 outs. A ten, and you're drawing to a split at best. There are a lot of bad cards (overs, straights) that can come on the turn to outdraw you. RIO suck. Just fold.

It's one of those rare big pot RIO situations. It's true we're getting 11:1, but I think we win a lot less than 10% at showdown here. Most of the time we are drawing dead/to half the pot at best.

What is RIO? :roll:

It's ROI, return on investment. And I agree with screech, despite my call that it's a fold. With 4 callers, i'm most likely drawing to the Ten and a split pot. On the tpwk in bb hand on the other post, I also had a backdoor flush draw which I don't here.I check/flolded the turn K when it went bet/raise/raise back to me by the way. Guesses on what I was facing?

Reverse Implied Odds.Wheras implied odds take the pot+future bets to be won and divides by the current bet you need to call; RIO takes the recipricol, essentially. Essentially in a small pot with a marginal hand that is either already behind with little chance of improving to the best hand or ahead but easily out drawn, you face the risk of putting in a few Big Bets while only getting "paid off" by hands that outdraw/ahead of you. You win little or lose a lot, relatively speaking.RIO are the reason I don't play TP3K anymore and just call pf with suited cards and pairs, only. :x
