Hello,
My apologies if this was already asked before, when should I hold ‘em and when should I fold’ em, after the flop? I believe you once discussed about when to fold but it’s a bit far from what I want to know.
Now, say I have a low wired pair and I don’t hit another on the flop, do you think I should still draw through the turn and river? And in case I have suited connectors and get two more suited on flop, draw as well through the turn and river? Or if not just fold?
Another thing, about the pot odds, is it actually the only determining factor of when to fold? And can you please give me more examples about what you are trying to imply when you discuss the pot value in correlation to your percent chance of hitting based off of outs in pot odds? It will be much appreciated.
By the way, your site is so great and helpful. Thanks a ton!
All the best,
Kent
Kent,
When you have a small pair and miss the flop, it is time to get out unless the bet is really small or there is a lot of money in the pot. As far as drawing to the flush, if you have pot odds to call then you can draw to the flush, otherwise, get out.
When you are figuring pot odds, first you need to figure out the percentage of hitting your hand. That is done on the flop by multiplying your outs by 4 and if you are on the turn, you multiply your outs by 2. This gives you the odds that you will hit your hand. To figure out pot size percentage, divide the amount of your potential call by the amount of the pot before your call. This will give the percentage of the pot you need to call. If the percentage of hitting your hand is greater than or equal to the percentage of the pot that you need to call, you had pot odds to hit your hand.
