The SB is 70/16/0.7 and as I have discovered a calling station. I want to be in pots with him so I call on the button. On the flop I decided to make a rather loose call in the hopes of the runner runner flush because I thought I could win a big bet from him at the end. Afterwards I decided to try and look at the maths of it to see how much I need to win to make it a good play. So this just serves as an example to test some maths basically cos I'm not very good at it.

So I'm 4% to hit my runner runner flush. I need pot odds of 20-1 and I'm getting a bit over 2-1. What would Harrrington do? Anyway I suppose this means I need to win 20X his 0.50 bet or $10. In this case I manage to do it but I've only just exceeded break even. I should have bet $15 on the end, or even pushed all in. Did I work this out ok?

PS I'm not suggesting this is typically a good play!
