:shock:

that's a tough fold. My standard line is to call down because he could have J2, A2, and plenty of other hands you beat.

If the 3-flush wasn't present, I'd call down. Even if the villian doesnt have a flush, he may have a redraw to one.

If I'm behind, I have at most 4 outs to improve (If he has AJ, or JJ, only two). So lets say that I have 3 outs to win. That comes in 6.5% of the time.

The pot is currently laying me 7:1. If I call the raise, I'm going to call a river bet too. That means it will cost me 2 bets to win 8. So I have to win over 20% of the time to show a profit. Since I will win at 6.5% of the time when I improve, I will need to be ahead of the villian 13.5% of the time in this situation. I think 10 percent of the time that I'm ahead of the villian on the turn, he will outdraw me by the river at least 20% of the time (better 2 pair, flush, etc).

I think this is just too much against a passive opponent. Then again, maybe I'm to passive :oops:
