Variation of yesterday
2008-08-21

You get 98 of spades UTG and call. Three more players see the flop, one of which is the big blind. You all have about $150 each.

The flop comes 7 6 2, there's $9 in the pot.

You check, the next guy bets $10, another mid pos player raises to $40 and the big blind goes all-in for $151.

Do you make the call?





Fold (correct)
Things look way worse the more opponents you have here. You have 40-60 against a set, but only 35-65 against a better flush draw. Against both of them combined, the set will retain its odds since your draws cancel each other out, oddswise.

There are three opponents and at least one should have a set, given how they play. A higher flush draw or a two pair hand isn't impossible either. You'd need to face something like two sets to be able to call, but you'd still barely break even.

You haven't invested in this hand yet - so fold.
