    Default Sweet...wait, wut?

    So I find this table which is running 60/5. BB seems to be the only player who has an idea of how to play. However, I have seen him get way out of line with 2pr on a drawy board. I believe I can stack him with the gin card and it hits. Then all hell breaks loose. I blame someone in Vent for talking about calling with gutshots with implied odds.

    Button is 77/20/.59 over 30 hands before this one. That's the only reason I want to call. BB practically announces he has a set in chat before he folds.

    Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $.25 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero ($38.39)
    CO ($23.83)
    Button ($25.29)
    SB ($49.19)
    BB ($25.81)
    UTG ($15.39)

    Preflop: Hero is MP with 3, A.
    UTG calls $0.25, Hero calls $0.25, 1 fold, Button calls $0.25, 1 fold, BB checks.

    Flop: ($1.10) 8, 5, 2 (4 players)
    BB bets $0.6, UTG folds, Hero calls $0.60, Button calls $0.60.

    Turn: ($2.90) 4 (3 players)
    BB bets $1.75, Hero raises to $7, Button raises to $24, BB folds, Hero throws up in his mouth a little.

    No hindsight for the blind.
    Stick it in and be glad about it. If he has 76 then nh. I mean, if you're not willing to get it in with the sucker straight then don't chase it.

    ^^^ agreed. As you described villain, he could do this w/ any random 2 pair as much as 67. Get it in and be glad.

    ROFL. I wonder who that could be. You also have to be aware of potential dead outs. As played I stick it in. You shouldn't be bothered about stacking off with such a well hidden hand.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

    BTW hitting 3outers to chop is the nuts.

    BTW, I don't see any evidence of implied odds in this spot. I don't remember saying "Chase a gutshot and hope you have implied odds".

    What say you?

    I think your implied odds are horrendous in this spot. You also have no convincing potential for fold equity if you miss and your opponent shows weakness. In other words a lot of scare cards will come that will kill your implied odds, yet not give you the ability to push the opponent off without a dangerously BIG push.

    Yea, I'm still figuring out the entire implied odds thing.

    Why is a 4 a scare card for a set or big overpair?

    I guess we can start discussing why you even bothered posting in this thread.

    A loose passive just 3bet bombed the turn where I make the 3rd nuts on a board where he should really only be holding 67. That's about as pukey as it gets at $25NL.

    It isn't, but a big overpair isn't likely in this limped pot. What's more likely is a hand like J8, where any 9 T Q K or A will slow it's roll to cheap showdown mode.

    You're right about a possible (yet unlikely) set however. You may call with a gutshot, if you feel there's a better than fair chance someone flopped a set, and your make card will make you the absolute nuts. Obviously that is not the case here.

    I would rather call with a thin draw on a board where I feel someone flopped a big range, like say you're 150xBB deep and the flop comes out with an A and a K in a raised pot with 3 callers. You a hold JTs you called with for preflop pot odds, and an EP bettor with 150xBB bets 3/4 pot. He gets 1-2 callers before you. It's correct to call on a gutshot, because it's likely a fellow deep stack just flopped huge, and if your card comes the implied odds are candyliscious, since your opponent will be a steaming bull of stackoffedness, since there are very few turns or rivers that will scare them.

    I think my hand plays totally diff. b/c it is multiway. In your hand no draws connected and he wouldn't check the turn with A5/56. He looks to be c/bluffing the river with a missed draw. I really don't see why you think you are beat.

    In my hand, the original aggressor is not the player 3betting the turn AI. A player with a .59 AF just doesn't 3bet bomb the turn without a very good reason. Also, when the original bettor tells me he's laying down a set it's hard to put the button on one.

    I really think I should've folded. But, as I said, hitting a 3 outter to chop is nice.

    I think I'd rather call on a flop with a K or Q or something, but I'm still just folding a large majority of the itme.
