A three-quarter-pot bet needs 30.00%, so the verdict is fold." related: ["https://georgelipoker.com/call-or-fold.md"] --- # Call or Fold: 10 Outs vs 3/4 pot, Turn 10 outs on the turn hit 21.74% by the river. A three-quarter-pot bet needs 30.00%, so the verdict is fold. A three-quarter-pot bet on the turn is too expensive to call with 10 outs. You hit 21.74% of the time by the river and the call needs 30.00%. - Verdict: Fold (10 outs, turn, three-quarter-pot bet) - Chance to hit by the river: 21.74% (one card to come) - Equity the call needs: 30.00% ($75 into a pot of $250) - Margin over the price: -8.26 points (your chance minus the price) ## The price of the call Your draw is priced at 30.00% and it arrives just 21.74% of the time. A gap of 8.26 points is large, and later bets would have to be large to make up for it. A count of 10 outs is usually the sum of more than one draw. Out of 46 unseen cards, one card helps 21.74% of the time. ## One hand, in dollars - Pot when the bet arrives: $100 - Your opponent bets: $75 - Chips you put in: $75 - Pot with your call in: $250 - What a hit wins: $175 - What a miss costs: $75 - Chance to hit by the river: 21.74% - Expected value of a call: -$20.65 - Break-even equity: 30.00% - Your chance minus the price, unrounded: -8.2609 points - Outs that exactly reach the price: 13.80 outs - Your outs minus break-even outs: -3.80 outs Stay with simple rules: the whole pot on a hit, the call lost on a miss, no more money in. Under them calling loses $20.65 on average. The hit side averages $38.04, the miss side $58.70, and each dollar called returns -0.275. Read as odds: 3.6 : 1 against you, 2.33 : 1 from the pot. The price is 30.00% because your call goes into the pot too. Leave it out and you get 42.86%, a margin of -21.1180 points that does not exist; use the starting pot instead and 75.00% puts the margin at -53.2609 points. ## What it would take to call With 21.74% to hit, break-even sits $95 higher than the pot shows. Put another way, later bets must add 1.27 times your call.

The answer is a fold, with a margin of -8.26 points. 10 outs on the turn reach 21.74%; a bet of $75 into $100 needs 30.00%. Win the whole pot on a hit and lose the call on a miss, and the call is worth -$20.65 on average. ### How many outs are enough to continue against a bet of three quarters of the pot on the turn? The threshold is 14 outs. It gives 30.43%, clearing 30.00%, whereas 13 gives only 28.26%. Holding 10 puts you 4 below it, with a chance of 21.74%. ### Is the by-the-river chance the right one to use on the turn? One card left means one chance: 21.74%. Set it beside the 30.00% price and you get -8.26 points, which is a fold. There is no second figure to weigh against it. ## How this is computed The chance rests on counting, not on a rule of thumb. Outs 10, unseen cards 46; hit chance: 21.74%. The price is call / (pot + bet + call), here $75 / $250 = 30.00%, and the margin is your chance minus it. The page assumes you call the whole bet, win the whole pot whenever you hit, and see no more betting. All 46 unseen cards are equally likely and none is removed for an opponent's hand, so this is the chance to hit your outs, not your equity against one hand.
