Title: Flop spot - less equity than it seems? Post by: cambridgealex on December 11, 2011, 05:19:59 AM Preflop: Hero is MP with Ks Qh
1 fold, Hero raises to $6.00, Lucius_CSM calls $6.00, 3 folds Flop: ($15.00) Js 9s 3s (2 players) Hero bets $9.00, Lucius_CSM raises to $30.00 We both start the hand with $200. At first glance we've flopped huge, two overs, gutshot, 2nd nfd. But vs the range he'll get it in with, we're fairly crushed - sets, flushes, nut flush draws... fold to the 30$? or just raise/get it in? Villain is playing 20/16/0 over 50 hands and we're playing 38/27/23 over 46 hands (must've been being hit in the face lol) Title: Re: Flop spot - less equity than it seems?

But it's not easy to have a balanced check calling range, unless we are check calling sets / flushes. As long as we always bet nut hands on these boards (which we obv do), it's hard for us to get owned on them. When we bet, opponents often play reasonably straightforward............calling marginals to see if we give up, raising smaller flushes and sets for protection/value etc... Without history, I think this is a fold. Title: Re: Flop spot - less equity than it seems?

Without history, I think this is a fold. i guess its the times we have very thin showdown value, like underpairs, bottom pair, ak high hands - anyone can own us and always bluff us off these once checked to. |
