BeanGW 0 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I don't defend that PF... that makes all the other decisions soooo much easier. Link to post Share on other sites

Sciolist 0 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 I'm not sure that defending is such a good idea when the SB has already cold called. If he'd folded, then obviously calling is a much better plan.Once defended, a flop raise can fit in.I don't think the turn call is wrong. You have 5 outs to improve, 46 unknown cards remaining, leaves you with 1/9 to hit and 1/9 pot odds. Of course, this is assuming one of them isn't already playing an eight, in which case things are going to go badly. Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltBlue 662 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 My blind defense sucks but gapped non-suited connectors don't appeal to me here. Link to post Share on other sites

Macint0sh 0 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 No defend here. After that it's fine I think. Link to post Share on other sites
Actuary 3 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 your getting 5:1 to defend.seems like SB's calling is a double edged sword.It increases yuor pot odds, but also lowers yuor chance to win....And with 86 off..i'm gussing yuor equity is worse with him in, not better.I'd say:1. don't defend Link to post Share on other sites
Vade 0 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 With three people in the pot I hate defending with anything smaller then 10-9 or maybe J-10 depending on the raiserWith more people in the pot, I'll go down a bit more, but I'd need close to the whole table cold calling to defend with that crapDefinitely folding the turn, and getting frustrated that SB keeps cold-calling with his likely bare ace Link to post Share on other sites
