The beauty of implied odds

[spino1i]

Good call pre-flop? I figured him for aces, felt the implied odds were worth it since J9s is a strong hand against AA (stronger than KK even lol) Also I had position on him, which really helped me a lot too!

I pushed on the turn because he had outs on me (well outs to a split pot) and the board could have gotten nasty enough for him to fold on the river (to say a 4-to-a-straight board)

The limp-reraise screamed AA or KK.

Flop was played perfectly, only calling and don't do the "stall call" were you sit at your computer pretending to think (usually implies huge hand)

Turn was beautfiful and it worked at well for you that he is loose and can't fold AA. Im gonna have to try that sometime when i have the nuts and know my opponent has good cards.

Well played and NIIIIIIICCCEEE flop

there should be a jackpot for 7 card straights

i once hit a 7 card straight flush

on the hand: nicely played, when you can put someone on AA, KK, implieds are huge, very well done

I still fold this preflop. You are luckly you were playing against an idiot. Over the long term you aren't going to get paid of enough for this to be a profitable play.

Playing with Idiots definately EV+

I disagree. Think about it. If he is sure the guy will pay him off then it is a +EV move. The guy has him covered, so he can fully double him up. That's $427. Minus the $15 he raises preflop, $412. He is calling $36 from there which gives him $376. If he hits 2 pair, a flush or a straight and the guy still gets it all in, then he only needs to hit every 1 in 10 to make a profit.

I think I'm right.. +EV?
