I just read SSHE...so did I apply the right concepts here?
Man that book rocks, but so much to think about. A hand for discussion...
Paradise Poker 1/2 Hold'em (10 handed) converter
Preflop: Hero is Button with Ac, Kd.
4 folds, MP2 raises, 1 fold, CO calls, Hero 3-bets, 2 folds, MP2 calls, CO calls.
Flop: (10.50 SB) Qd, 8h, Jd (3 players)
MP2 checks, CO bets, Hero raises, MP2 calls, CO calls.
I'm getting odds to at least call here with my gutshot and backdoor flush draw. Plus I have some partial outs with overcards. I raise to possibly buy some outs (I'd like hands like KJ, AJ, A8s to fold), and more importantly to try to get a free turn card. Thoughts?
Turn: (8.25 BB) 7c (3 players)
MP2 checks, CO checks, Hero checks. Tough to bet here. Does anyone bet here?
River: (8.25 BB) Jh (3 players)
MP2 checks, CO checks, Hero checks. Felt like original bettor had to have at least a Q to bet into me, I don't think I'm getting anyone to fold for one bet.
Final Pot: 8.25 BB
Results below:
MP2 has Th Ad (one pair, jacks).
CO has Qc Ah (two pair, queens and jacks).
Hero has Ac Kd (one pair, jacks).
Outcome: CO wins 8.25 BB.
Ugh. I was drawing to only 3 outs. But IF I could have gotten the ATo to fold my 3 K's would have been good, not to mention my flush draw if a diamond fell on the turn. Comments? Specifically, is this pot big enough to try to make this play or should I simply have called on the flop?

Comments
The flop bet usually means some sort of pair, so theres no point in betting the turn and take the free showdown.
more then big enough.
