Suppose you have a very strong hand (typically set or straight) on the turn and think your opponent is drawing. There's also not huge stack-depth left, but enough that a bet on your part isn't necessarily all-in.
Let's just say the turn pot is $500 before any bets are made, the board is K567 with 2 spades, and you have 89 with no spades. There's also, let's say, $750 in available stack-depth left.
First off, the minimum I would even think about betting here is about $300, and all-in is also possible. You think your opponent is probably on a flush draw, but he might also have a set or 2 pair.
Anyhow, if you bet $300 and get called, the river pot is now $1100, and it will cost you $450 if he pushes (for a chance at $1,550). My first assumption here is that your hand is sufficiently strong that you pretty much still have to call, even if you think he made his flush. He must have a flush more than 75% of the time for you to think about folding, so it's a tough fold against almost anyone imo.
My question is: What should you bet?
Well, I'll have to continue later, as an Omaha seat just opened up, but I wanted to get this started.Statistics: Posted by Aisthesis — Wed Jun 27, 2007 12:43 am
