From cardplayer.comDate / Time: 2005-12-14 23:04:00 Title: Joe Cassidy Wins a Huge Pot Against Patrik Antonius to Take the Chip Lead Log: With the board showing 9s-6d-5d-Qh-Jd on the river, Joe Cassidy bets about $100,000 into a roughly $500,000 pot, and Patrik Antonius raises to $300,000. Cassidy makes an incredible call with Ad-7c (ace high). Sure enough, Antonius shows Ah-3d, and Cassidy's kicker plays to win the entire pot. Joe Cassidy is our new chip leader with approximately $1.45 million, while Antonius is down to $500,000. I cannot get my head around this call. There is so, so little that he can beat, 7-8 straight, K-10 straight, most other suited connectors have hit the board, half of broadway has hit, any pocket pair. From what his opponent is likely to raise / call a raise with pre-flop I'd think he'd only beat A smaller rag.

That, or, he priced himself into the call.500k in the pot. He bets 100k. Raised to 300k. There's 1 million in the pot, and he only has to call 200k more. It's a good call, but, shoot, so much in the pot, it's hard not to.

hard not to call with ace high, your joking right

Not saying it's easy by any stretch, but holding the Ad makes it easierProblem is so many bluffs still beat him

You mean, paying 200k to win a million and take a commanding chip lead against a player who's hyper aggressive and makes a funny re-raise on the river? Not easy, but, I've seen tougher calls.He needs to win this just under 17% of the time to have it be profitable.He's wrong not to call, really.

6:1 on his money.1/(6+1) = 14.3%You need to be right less than 3 out of 20 times to make it a profitable call.If you don't make this call (at least) 3 out of 20 times, you are dumb.I'd explain it further, but I'm not certified to teach the mentally disabled.

[kouta43]

wow you can calculate percentages. You jsut continue to think that folding is a mistake there... you moron. He is getting great odds, so you msut always call. Your are retarded, and know very little about poker.

[oojeemeflip]

I'm going to have to ask you to stop throwing your own shit at the guards, sir. No, you must win three out of twenty times to make this call correct.Read the above post, where I even bolded for you, where I said it wasn't an easy call, and then read your posts.Realize you are only truly making yourself look like a jackalope. You're not going to hurt my feelings or make me look dumb by challenging my skill as a poker player. I'm sorry your mother drank heavily with you in the womb, but I had nothing to do with it.

Nonsense. Learn what pot odds are before you try to apply them.Making the mathematically correct call three times out of twenty will show three-twentieths the expected profit of calling all twenty times.ETA: Unless you mean 3/20 to break even, 20/20 to maximize profit.
