    Default Pot Odds

    I have a question about Pot Odds as I'm still learning them. Was it correct for me to call on the flop AND on the turn?

    MP2 (t460)
    MP3 (t1280)
    CO (t2520)
    Button (t1455)
    SB (t1575)
    Hero (t1480)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with , .
    UTG calls t30, 3 folds, MP3 calls t30, CO calls t30, Button calls t30, SB completes, Hero checks.

    Flop: (t180) , , (6 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks, UTG checks, MP3 bets t90, CO folds, Button calls t90, SB folds, Hero calls t90, UTG folds.

    Turn: (t450) (3 players)
    Hero checks, MP3 bets t120, Button calls t120, Hero calls t120.

    River: (t810) (3 players)
    Hero checks, MP3 checks, Button checks.

    Final Pot: t810

    keep in mind if your straight card comes, your hand kinda sucks if the straight card is a club.

    I would have check-raised him on the turn......but I'm crazy like that.

    You really don't have odds because you have to think that a lot of times 3 way, you're drawing to split the pot. The bet was only 90 on the flop, but the guy only followed it up with a bet of 120 into a 450 pot, so I'm guessing that that's the guy you're splitting with if you hit.

    Not to mention that you're gambling pretty early at a low blind level to you're opponent not having KT giving you 3 outs to split or AT where if you hit the turn, he has a little Broadway redraw or worse he hits the Ace on the turn and it gets really expensive to see the river. There are the flush redraws as well if you hit the turn, so I'm guessing you're only 4:1 to split the pot on the river. I think your only sure shot to scoop here are running 6's. I wouldn't be worried about QT or T7 because the clubs would've induced more action from any marginally strong made hand, let alone the nuts and 2nd nuts.

    So do you think it would be wrong to get aggressive here? His betting just screams weakness to me.

    I'd say it's raise or fold. There's nothing in the pot, so fold. What's in the pot now is 1 bb when the pots do matter.
