Is my math correct?

we have 25% equity vs villains hand
(Edit, and vs villains range.
 AA,KcKd,KcKh,KdKh,QQ,TT,AcKc,AdKd,AhKh,AsTs,KcQc,KdQd,
KhQh,KcTc,KdTd,KhTh,QsTs,JsTs,AcKd,AcKh,AdKc,AdKh,AhKc,
AhKd,AsKc,AsKd,AsKh,KcQd,KcQh,KcQs,KdQc,KdQh,KdQs,KhQc
,KhQd,KhQs,KcTd,KcTh,KcTs,KdTc,KdTh,KdTs,KhTc,KhTd,KhTs we have25% equity)

so if we fold we loss £31.07
so if we fold 4 times we loss £124.28

If we call we loss 3 times £171.03
And win 1 time £114.02

£171.03 - £114.02 = a total loss of £57.01

So Fold vs Call.

Fold we loss £31.07
Call we loss £14.25

So allthough -£ the most +ev play in this situation is to call.

    dnt like the raise preflop if your floating why not call ? and try take down later street and on the turn its deffo a check call here

    I didn't rereiase pre. Villian is a big 3Bettor IP, 3Betting QJs+ so i feel that on alot of low flops i can take the pot away with a reraise.

    I don't mind the call pre-flop if we're in position, out of position I think it's better to either 4-bet, or fold. It's a pretty hand though and I hate having to fold it, but I think it's the best play.

    OOP: Fold /> 4bet > Call IMO.

    Once we've been set all in on the turn, the call is correct.

    I totally agree and vs most villain i am 4Betting or folding OOP, but vs this villain I feel i have his range down to high cards and feel that i can check raise so many low flops and make a hugh profit.

    Villains also has no calling range and at a guess i'd say he's 3Betting 12%

    10s+,A10o+, A9s+, All suited broadways and KQo

    £25 into £89 with 12outs @ turn.

    If played this way have to call turn once opened.  Math is slghtly off, but still closer to a call than fold - ergo a call.

    Bink & apologise.

    Pre is awful - esp readless
    I don't like flop either
    K usually hits villains range pretty strongly
    River I don't know, I guess it's call - but the hand is pretty muddled imo

    even flatting 67s IP wouldn't be ideal vs a laggy villian readless, never mind oop

    also fwiw I have no issue withhow you play this hand.

    You do the opposite of what I see and hear so much lately.  You give yourself EVERY chance to with this pot.  Sure, he has J's on this occasion.

    BonB, we get creative, pick up equity and try to push him off what would often be a marginal holding.

    I cant be a computor.  Every hand oughtnt to be a cooler.  One would think that creative aggressive poker is a good thing, rather than something to be criticised.  Even though he is at the top of his range here, you still put him in a hard spot and still hold plenty of equity.

    I may be hugely wrong, maybe it is better to play like a robot.  Maybe this isnt great multi table approach.  But it certainly isnt bad poker.

    You should have just folded preflop, villian owns your soul.

    Can i just add. That when I called pre I had a plan, any low flop im check/raising based on my read on villains range. The fact i had a gutter was just a bonus, Turn played its self.

    Some of the replys to the thread arn't making much sence.

    Im not asking if my play is good or bad, Im asking someone to check my maths, as this isnt my strong point.

    Also villain is raping me IP with these 3Bets, I do have a 4Bet bluff range and I'd guess that if I 4bet or folded vs villian than I'd be even money, that said I wanna make money by exploiting villian in this situation. so I've choose a 3Bet calling range with the intention on check/raiseing alot of low flops.

    If anyone can tell me a better way to exploit villains 3Betting IP than please elaborate instead of telling me my play sux.

    Input from some of the respected regs would be nice?

    I think your call was fine, your maths looks good to me and very interesting to see put like that.

    Only flaw in your maths is your taking it I have jacks, what if I have higher flush draw, or sets etc.

    You could nearly be dead already.

    For example against as ts you have 6 percent equity, one of worst cases for you though.

    Vs AA we have 26%
    Vs KK we have 23%
    vs K10s we have 25%
    vs AsQs we have 20%
    and vs As10s 6.8%

    But vs range its 25%.

    Ok, I guess  AsTs is only hand your bad against.

    I would just unhappily snap call from your spot in that hand to be honest, too little time for me to do maths.

    Lol, well thats what I did hoping 12outs which I know is 25% equity and seen I had almost 4/1.

    I just thought it would be a good hand to review for people in the forum, and to show that a -£ call can be better that a fold.

    Hope someone can learn supm from all this.

    Hero doesn't have a good grasp on Villain's play clearly or else he would never be making this play and therefore it is bad play imo. Flatting oop with suited connectors vs an unknown laggy opponent is no where near profitable - maybe vs a tight opponent who doesn't go to showdown much and is tight so you can push them off the pot easier but here I don't think so. It's spewy 

    ps. sorry to op I'm not brilliant with maths so I can't really comment but it looks fine - I didn't realise you didn't want your play analysed as well. My bad

    Villain is raping me IP with these 3Bets, I do have a 4Bet bluff range and I'd guess that if I 4bet or folded vs villian than I'd be even money in the long run, that said I wanna make money by exploiting villian in this situation. so I've choose a 3Bet calling range with the intention on check/raising alot of low flops.

    I think my grasp on villains range is correct.

    So are you saying that the villian cant be explioted in this situation? And i just have to except breaking even from folding 3/4 of the time and 4Betting 1/4 of the time?

    I just dont even know if i ought to be offended by this????

    Plus I already covered the math:  "£25 into £89 with 12outs @ turn.If played this way have to call turn once opened.  Math is slghtly off, but still closer to a call than fold - ergo a call.".

    Am I a respected reg?..can I comment lol.... Anyway the numbers look cool.  Fwiw I don't like ur flop size really...maybe it's better if you are gonna be check raising some complete air balls too.  

    Just a cooler with how it's played.  Also the villain in the hand is decent so threfore the range is a lot wider than most on the site...
