whats the worst you are calling with here?

<< < (3/3)

AMRN:
any two broadway cards, any pair, any ace

Swinebag:
Thanks for the replies. I pretty much agree with marty and Dean on this one. Using pokerstove, those ranges make us about a 60% favourite against a random hand.

I actually called with Q7o and was very lucky to be up against 66. I spiked both the 7 and Q to win the hand too, which is always nice.

However, I didn"t use pokerstove, percentages or pot odds to decide to call here. It was pretty much a similar thought process to John (mintrav) where I considered my possible stack sizes. I quite fancied 165K and would not have been too gutted to get down to 95K, so called

Q7o was probably (just) worse that what I"d normally call with here but felt the rewards outweighed the risks

Q7 is pretty much the absolute average starting hand isn"t it?  With the other factors you"ve mentioned, then yeah it"s a call for me.
