You should fold preflop, after third bet, but you HAD TO CALL on flop. There was much more money in the pot than you needed to call...

Ok...at the time of your fold, the pot was (I believe 0.75) and the bet to you was .10 so... 0.10:0.75

You had at the time bi-lat str8 on a rainbow board and no board pairs

all four nines and all 4 aces give you a str8, so you had 8 outs with two cards to go...so to find the "percent of hitting" multiply by 4 the number of outs....so, in this case you would expect to complete the str8 (4x8outs) 32% of the time...or expect to win 1 out of 3....

So imagine 3 times you are in this situation and you call all three:
(your calls) vs (your wins (pot plus your call)
.10 + .10 +.10 : 0.0 + 0.85 + 0.0

so you would expect to risk .30 to win .85 for a net gain of .55

...lol...and btw I DID NOT have odds to make the call I did in that SnG today...I knew better but did it anyway...go figure :hahaha: :banghead:

I agree with Pete's calculations, which make a call very good sense. In addition, if a nine hits and someone else has a 10 (as they have) you have excellent implied odds because they are going to call your bets to the river.

Thanks Pete. I'm not experienced with pot odds, implied odds, and expected value as yet. But your calculations cleared some of the clouds in my head. :D
