Fine to open, we have 3 high cards that work well given that they are suited. We are fine playing this HU or Multi-way. If we get 3 bet, we will generally call to see a flop. Against certain short stacks, we can fold as we will not have the implied odds to call with our hand.

*** FLOP *** [8d 3c 6d]

We flop the NFD, against two short stacks and a regular stack. When we get bet into we are getting 2:1 on our money, this bet essentially commits him as he has put almost half his stack in so we can assume the rest of the money is going in on the turn.

If we ignore BTN for now, and give up 9 outs, we will have immediate odds of roughly 18%, which is not good enough for us to peel alone. If we consider the SPR is 1.90, we need roughly 38% to get it in. So raising is no good here as it gets us in trouble, as it is a marginally +EV against the bettor, and we are not closing the action. There I like to use our odds of taking maybe getting a free card on the turn, implied odds of hitting when we stack the shorty and the chance to stack the other deep stack player. This is assuming the player behind us is straightforward, if we flat and he is likely to get tricky and raise us, we can fold.

AAHi bets $1.40

angusmec folds

Jubinator calls $1.40

strouthokamhlos folds

We miss, he bets again and we fold as planned. With the board pairing it has strengthened his range not ours so we have fewer outs again!

*** TURN *** [8d 3c 6d] [6c]

Did the odds on this, forgot to save but I think we determined that if I call flop, have to fold turn. However raising flop is marginally bad.

AAHi bets $2.25, and is all in

Jubinator folds

Uncalled bet of $2.25 returned to AAHi

AAHi mucks

AAHi wins the pot ($3.92)
