Question 16

Implied odds estimation:
Hero: 9d 6d
Villain: Ac Jh
Board: 7d 8d 2s As
The pot was $10. Villain bet $15. How much more do you need?

Answer 16

With 15 outs on the turn, we have about 30% equity. This means we need about 2x villain’s bet.
15 * 2 = 30
There’s already $25 in the pot, so we only need $5 more.

Question 17

Implied odds estimation:
Hero: 9c 3c
Villain: Ah Ac
Board: 7d 8d Js 4c
The pot was $10. Villain bet $10. How much more do you need?

Answer 17

With 4 outs on the turn, we have about 8% equity. So we need about 9x villain’s bet.
10 * 9 = 90
There’s already $20 in the pot, so we need $70 more.

Question 18

Implied odds estimation:
Hero: Ac Qd
Villain: Jd Jh
Board: 3s 5c 5d
The pot was $10. Villain bet $8. How much more do you need assuming you see the river with no further turn betting?

Answer 18

With 6 outs on the flop, we have about 24% equity. So we need about 3x villain’s bet.
8 * 3 = 24
There’s already $18 in the pot, so we need $6 more.
