Message: [QUOTE="Effexor, post: 415055, member: 11100"] Yup you are right my odds were out of wack. This is what happens when you try and post while running around the house chasing kids and changing diapers and 90 min later when I finish the post I got my facts all jumbled. I guess the bigger question is do you always assume you are behind in the hand? You could very well be ahead at this point. How do you factor that into the odds. If there was a flush possibility instead of the straight would you fold then too? Assign odds to all possibilities: 10% the all in was a bluff (Harrington assigns %10 to every hand as a bluff possibility) 30% one person has TPTK and one person has 2 pair 60% one person has a straight Even if you don't have true pot odds to call, trips is still a good hand and doesn't the chance you do have the best hand make up for the difference?
