I failed lots of exams.... thats why if you bet 1200 into a pot of 5700, I might be thinking you were playing AK, AQ and test your resolve to call a re-raise. But to do this, i would really have to consider my chip stack v's yours.

Plus it really hard to answer the questions when they keep changing...

[bennymacca]

mods can you please remove all of wabbit's posts in this thread.

it is obvious he does not want to contribute

no you didnt. you started talking about ranges, which isn't mentioned at all, and it shows you haven't addressed the question properly.

and then when we point this out to you, you try for a smart response

Ok benny the cunt, I’m really slack at posting so I qualify “yippie”

Now I’m thinking the villain might be a good player

So with Js 10s we have 28.4% equity in the hand. There is now 6900 in the pot and we need 1200 to call. According to the equity we will win roughly 1 in 3 times so therefore the maximum bet we can call is about 2300 the bet stands at 1200. We should call.
This person is giving us 5.75 to 1 on our money, we only need 3 to 1 to call.


Question 2 -
AA v's J10s and the flop 9d,7h,6c we now 22.576% (stoved) equity roughly the highest bet we should call is 1550. So again we should still consider calling.

If we used Phil Gordons rule of 4, we have 4 outs for the nut straight, so about a 16% chance of getting that, the highest bet we should call is about 1100 and not call, theres still the Jacks and tens which will improve our hand.

now if our opponent had 9h,2c we now have a 38% equity in hand the highest bet we should call is about 2622.

with 99, our equity drops to 15.3% the highest bet we should call is 872. We should not call.

question 3, i'm sticking with the 3-1 as explanied above if we are getting better odds we should call if we are getting less we should fold.

question 4, see above

question 5, well if this person does have AA and willing to commit there entire stack then you could be getting much better odds than the 5.75 we were getting in the first question. Cant really answer this without knowing how much in chips is left, I know we all often believe AA will still be the best by the river and have gone all in when the board straights or flushes.

[bennymacca]

maybe i wasn't clear above.

here are some hints in order to answer the questions.

question 1, tell me what pot odds are, and you need to calculate pot odds and thats it.
question 2, you need to work out your win percentage vs certain hands, using pokerstove
question 3, you need to turn the win percentage from part 2 into a pot odds, i.e 25% = 3:1
question 4, you need to compare question 1 and question 3
question 5, you need to write down what implied odds are, and how they apply to this hand.

benny the cunt, if this question is pointed towards newer players, you also need to break down your 25%=3:1 into meaning a 1 in 4 chance.....

JMACK when I started out converting X to 1 pot odds to a fraction then to a percentage and back put me on life tilt even though its not so hard really.

X% = X/100 = 1/Y = [Y-1] to 1
25% = 25/100 = 1/4 = [4-1] to 1 = 3 to 1
33% = 33/100 = 1/3 = [3-1] to 1 = 2 to 1
