    Default Was this the right call?

    The call on the turn is the one I'm questiong. I was 99.9% sure he had the hand he was holding. I tried to do the math in the short time I had but couldn't and wound up just calling at the last second.

    MP3 ($25.10)
    CO ($20.15)
    Button ($88.30)
    SB ($94.25)

    I think so too.

    But on the turn... You are now risking 18.85 to win 33.1.... A 1.75 to one shot. As in th other thread, given the bluffing factor... you need 2.2-1 to call this....

    I know that seems hard to do at the table... but you were getting less than 2-1 on the call, If you were that sure he had you beat... there are few hands that are currently losing but can handle 2-1 odds.....
    Marm is back, maybe. Been off for 3 years. Rusty as Hell.

    Luck is a Residue of Design.

    Damn, I was ridiculously close to folding. I really wish poker sites gave you a bit more time.
