It is all going in on the turn anyways.. He did not have odds to make the call but it wasnt the worse one ever. Sorry I am so lax about describing hands off the top of my head but I play more on emotion than fact.. so its close enough to get the idea..<BR/><BR/>I do not think folding and losing a limped in blind is a bad move here though.. Its a marginal (58/42) hand with only 1BB invested and not exactly the flop your looking for with TJ. <BR/><BR/>That was my point.. alot of the time instead of making the "Supah Playah" moves in low limit games.. it might be better just to let that blind go..SirFWALGManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01310209706844541719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410122.post-1160506993120211502006-10-10T12:03:00.000-07:002006-10-10T12:03:00.000-07:00You wrote:I have not run the odds but I would say ...You wrote:<BR/><BR/><I>I have not run the odds but I would say it was barely above a coinflip. </I><BR/><BR/>Lazy! It's actually 58/42 in your favour. Impossible to figure out the pot exactly from your description but it sounds like his call was correct (as, technically, was your push as well since you're ahead).<BR/><BR/>What about the alternative of simply calling, folding to a fourth heart or (perhaps) a scary overcard on the turn, and pushing the turn otherwise?Michael Alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06406323435945694109noreply@blogger.com
