    Default Do implied odds count for this loose OESD draw call?

    Ok heres my read of the villain - he's been checkraising me all night and likes to bet a lot. Its hard to get him to fold and I think he's been bluffing me out of too many pots, but I havent really hit anything on him yet.
    I thought that my loose call here would have good implied odds but I feel just fishy doing it. Not so much on the flop, but the turn call makes me feel guilty.

    When you bet the flop, your probably gonna get a reraise if he has a hand that will pay off your straight aside from a monster. Since you dont want a reraise here but you do want him to pay you off I would check the flop.

    The call on the turn was probably a bad move unless you knew he would pay you off huge if you hit. Without any read I would say you can expect to get paid out about $15-$30 on the rive if you hit so I dont think implied odds would be that great, however if you knew you could get him to call or reraise your $60 bet then its a good move.

    If it's so hard to get him to fold, why not check behind on the flop?

    Calling on the turn is +EV if you think he'll call your $60 bet at least 2/3 of the time when you hit. So I think calling is ok if you have a really good read on him.

    Thats a good question, I dont know why I bet now that I think about it. Its just habit I guess, but yea I could have chased for cheaper. At least when I bet on the flop, my draw was somewhat disguised. Im not sure if that makes a difference or not though.

    I dunno if anybody, even him would call that big of a river bet 2/3rds of the time
