Preflop: Hero is BB with K, 7. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
UTG calls $0.25, 1 fold, UTG+2 calls $0.25, 3 folds, CO calls $0.25, Button calls $0.25, SB (poster) completes, Hero checks.

Flop: ($1.50) 9, 6, 8 (6 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG bets $0.25, UTG+2 folds, CO raises to $2, Button calls $2, SB folds,

At this stage I almost folded but I figured 8 outs to the OESD, and 3 kings left which *might* be outs...
Pot is $5.75 and i need to call $2... approximately 3:1... so i thought i just about have odds here to call. Thinking about it now, I'm not so sure.

Hero calls $2, UTG calls $1.75.

Turn: ($9.50) K (4 players)

Well I've hit a possible out although not an ideal one. I feel I have to bet to try and win it right here. I'd also like comments on that decision please.

Hero bets $4, UTG folds, CO calls $4, Button calls $12.57 (All-In),

Hero: ??????

Now I pretty much think I have 10 solid outs... the 8 for the straight and 2 kings for the set. Can't guarantee the set will win, but in this case I'd be happy to draw to it given some of the hands i've seen shown down.

I made my decision more on feel than on calculations but the pot size is currently $30.07 and I have to call $8.57... so it's about 3:1 again.

Results in white below:
Hero folds, CO calls $8.57.

River: ($38.64) Q

Final Pot: $38.64

CO has 7c Jc (high card, king).
Button has 6d 6h (three of a kind, sixes).
Outcome: Button wins $38.64.


So... should I have pushed that 3:1 edge and pushed on that hand? I would have lost but... thats not the point really, is it?

Would have made a killing if i'd hit!

I dunno... i'm reading Sklansky at the moment and he's so ODDSODDSODDSODDSODDS focused that i'm thinking in a slightly different way.

It's not the most exciting hand but hopefully there's something to discuss.

I need to make myself a "common odds" crib sheet until i can remember them all
