Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6424829, member: 305911"] You dont have to worry about giving them 2 to 1 but only 4 to 1 since you should be planning on betting the turn if the draw does not come in. You are in position so there is no worry about it checking through (unless you would want it to with a heart coming) so 4 to 1 is the goal. With that then you should be planning to make a bet so even the second caller is not getting 4 to 1. Some scenarios below... (not taking into account combo draws) and this is how I would do it at the table by guess and testing Raise to $100: first villain has to call 75 into a pot of 230 so they get 3.06 to 1. Second villain would have to call 75 into a pot of 330 (assuming first calls) and is then getting 4.4 to 1. Verdict: raise too $100 is too small Raise to $125: first villain has to call 100 into a pot of 255 so they get 2.55 to 1. Second villain would have to call 100 into a pot of 380 so they get 3.8 to 1. Verdict: this would be a large enough bet to make both draw against the odds and then plan to bet non heart turn cards So $125 is the smallest I would raise to on the turn. At the table I think you would have to time to pick a number and then do the math on one amount and from there know whether it is large enough or you need to go larger. A rule you can use (buts its not concrete) is when facing a small raise like this multiply it by 4 and that should be your raise sizing. Add 1x for every other player in. In this scenario that would work (5*25=125) but if you get more players involved then it would not work as well. To answer your question about raising here based on our stack, yes I think its fine as we do not want to just call here and we have to protect our hand and the raise could get worse hands (draws) to call us that if they dont hit on the turn we can then jam it down their throat with a what would be an all in bet on our stack size. In this particular hand I dont think two pairs and sets would bet this small (or only overcall as villain 2 did) so I dont think we are up against those hands here which alleviates some fear I have about putting in this many BBs with a one pair hand.
