murmar 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I have 23,000 chips in cutoffDealer has 8500BB has 40,000average is 9000blinds are 300/600Folded to me in cutoff, i raise to 2000 with A7Dealer calls, sb folds, bb callsflop is 456 rainbow, bb checks, i bet 6000, dealer is all in for 6500, bb check raises all in.so the pot is giving me 2.6:1, I figure I have 11 outs with my ace, but the bb is a donkey and has the chip lead at the table only because he's catching cards. I called, bb had K6, dealer had 1010, I missed everything and bb hit a king to come back from 16%.Anyway, my friend suggested I could fold and take my 15,000 and wait for a better spot. I say there's few better spots than that, and I had 14 outs twice on the side pot. Thoughts please.As an aside, is the bb allowed to raise after checking when the all in is 500 more? I know there's a rule that kind of sounds like that situation. I know the "can't raise your own raise" rule but there's another one and I think this is it. Link to post Share on other sites
SavageHenry 0 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 dealer should have pushed preflop. 10/10 against two people is no good. Id fold. You really want to be the pusher not the caller with just a draw. Link to post Share on other sites

reverbse 0 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 why not check the flop?i don´t think this is a good spot for a continuation bet. with two people calling your initial raise, there´s a good chance someone´s holding a small or mid pp, and they´re not going away. if you check you either get a free card, or both players act before it´s back to you and you can evaluate what odds you are getting then. also, i wouldn´t give myself 11 outs in that situation. it´s certainly improbable that there´s already a made straight out there, but your ace-outs could be dead and a set would give you some cards to dodge even if you hit. i think around 8.5 outs is a realistic estimate. so, fold.

shpaget 0 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 You bet the pot against two players with A high and an OESD where one player hadn't acted yet and the other guy is the chip leader?First, bet about half the pot - you'll get the same results as betting the pot, and you'll get a more appropriate price on your OESD.But, more importantly, why continuation bet here at all? Is this just something you always do when you lead preflop?And giving yourself 11 outs here is a stretch...first, you only beat A2 and A3, so your Ace outs are suspect...second, your Ace outs are dead to a set...third, you're not playing to the best straight....fourth, you could be drawing to a chop.Yeah, it turns out that this time you had 11 outs 14 outs in the side pot...there are many times here where you have 6-8 outs, or are drawing dead.In most cases I count 6-8 outs here - I count 8 outs, and also may discount for their outs if you do hit your hand.To answer your other question...the BB checked and you bet $6000, and the button bet $6500...the BB is facing a full bet from you and may, therefore, reraise whatever he wants, even though the button didn't put in a full raise.Where it wouldn't be allowed would be if you bet $6000, BB called $6000, button raised all-in $6500 and you called the extra $500 (you can't reraise here)...the BB could only call or fold. But in your example he is still allowed to act against your initial bet, because you did bet the minimum requirement, and he hasn't acted against THAT bet yet. Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I think you're just overestimating how much you need to bet to get someone off a hand, and as such, you're committing yourself to the pot way too easily. I would have raised to between 1500 and 1800 preflop, and then on the flop, I'd probably lead for around half the pot. That way, if your opponents have nothing, they'll get out of your way, and if they do hit something, it won't take your entire stack to find out.Given the action though, I think calling the raise is fine. I'd give you credit for 8 clean outs here, and getting 2.6 to 1, that does give you the right odds to call. Link to post Share on other sites
Rocketwadster 0 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Nothing wrong with your pre-flop play IMO. On the flop, betting about 1/2 to 3/4's of the pot will get you the same information much cheaper, AND make it easier for you to fold if raised. Also, I definately would not be including aces as outs, as you can only beat A 2 or A 3. Maybe count them as 1/2 an out in total IMO. So, based on the correct outs, and having bet only 1/2 - 3/4's of the pot, its a very easy fold. Link to post Share on other sites
