Hello I'm Stack Taxer, started playing at 19 in 92' Oceanside, CA at Jerry's card room 2 tables of live Limit Hold Em, was way underage, but learned the game from the old timers that frequented the spot including my grandpa R.I.P. who is still the best poker player at the limit games that I've ever encountered to date. I'm just here first to improve each and every aspect of my game that I can & second I hope to add to the camaraderie and experience shared amongst all the members here on this site.
Also... Where in the hell did my player image come from? I haven't seen that picture in years!March 28 -

Eazzy ...
You mean hero has to be right 55%, not 35%, correct?
Well you posted to my wall not in the forum...and nobody ever done that so I don't know where to reply....thus the IM LOL....
The final pot is the Pot + the bet + your call (As you always include your call when calculating the final pot it has to be less then 50%)
here He's betting 364 into 293 but when you win you win 364 +293 + (your call) 364
so you need to be right 364/(364 +293 + 364) = 364/1021 = .356 or about 36%
A few good rule of thumbs to memorize..
calling a pot size bet you need 33%
calling a half pot bet..you need 25%
1/3 pot bet you need...you need 20%
Calling a 2 times pot bet you need... 40%
From these you can quickly estimate what a 1 1/2 time bet needs..
or 3/4 pot bet....March 24 -

I call the river shove. In real time, I realize JT got there, but there are other straight draws that missed, as well as the flush draws. That’s the weird thing about this hand; lots of scary cards could hit, which still mean lots of draws missed. I think I find a fold if the river was a club that also filled up a straight. The key aspect that hit me off the table was the fact that Villain started the hand short stacked and his river shove was only pot- sized. If he had a full buy in, that shove could have been for 160, which means a call is strictly a bluff read IMO.
Villain shows 5h 6h, a busted gutter. For once, my read of villain as bully was correct.

KJo:
Great hand and analysis, thanks.
I am thinking about different ways to look at these types of situations in real time at the table. One way that I have settled on is comparing break even EV to actual (estimated) EV. As an example, here, Villains flop bet of 17+BB is roughly 75% of the pot which translates into a required BE EV roughly 40%, greater than the 29% per flopzilla. Am I correct here?
So, in theory, the flop call was not justified, but in the real world of expected C-bets, I call in a second.
The turn shove by Villain is 200% of the pot, requiring a minimum BE EV of 67%, clearly a fold.
Finally, the other issue for me is the EV calculation, specifically where did the $438.09 come from as $W? That’s 219 BB, and I can’t back into how you got this.
ThanksMarch 20 -
