Verdict: call." related: ["https://georgelipoker.com/call-or-fold.md"] --- # Call or Fold: 14 Outs vs 3/4 pot, Flop Flop spot, 14 outs, three-quarter-pot bet: you hit 51.16% by the river against 30.00% needed. Verdict: call. The numbers favor a call. 14 outs on the flop reach 51.16%, and a three-quarter-pot bet asks only for 30.00%. - Verdict: Call (14 outs, flop, three-quarter-pot bet) - Chance to hit by the river: 51.16% (two cards to come) - Equity the call needs: 30.00% ($75 into a pot of $250) - Margin over the price: +21.16 points (your chance minus the price) ## The price of the call The call is clearly worth making. 51.16% is your chance to hit, 30.00% is the price, and the gap between them is 21.16 points. A total of 14 outs tends to come from stacking several ways to improve. The next card is an out 29.79% of the time, 14 in 47. ## Worked through on a $100 pot - Pot when the bet arrives: $100 - The bet: $75 - Your call: $75 - Pot with your call in: $250 - You can win on a hit: $175 - Loss on a miss: $75 - How often you hit: 51.16% - Calling is worth, on average: +$52.89 - Price of the call: 30.00% - Unrounded margin: +21.1563 points - Outs at break-even: 7.59 outs - Outs above the price: +6.41 outs Over many identical spots, with the whole pot won on every hit, the call lost on every miss and no extra betting, calling gains $52.89 on average. Hits bring in $89.52, misses cost $36.63, and the ratio is +0.705 per dollar called. As odds, 0.95 : 1 against hitting meets pot odds of 2.33 : 1. Counting the pot without your call makes the price look like 42.86%, when the real price is 30.00%. On that mistaken price the margin would read +8.2992 points; on 75.00%, the bet over the starting pot, it would read -23.8437 points. ## Reverse implied odds and your margin Against this bet the draw needs 8 outs at the least. You have 6 outs more than that, so the call has some room.

Verdict: call. A three-quarter-pot bet asks for 30.00% and you have 51.16%, a margin of +21.16 points. For a $75 call into a $100 pot, with no later bets and the whole pot won on a hit, the average is +$52.89. ### How many outs are enough to continue against a bet of three quarters of the pot on the flop? Look for 8 outs. That is the smallest count whose chance, 31.45%, reaches the 30.00% price; 7 manages 27.84%. You have 14, so you are 6 ahead of the minimum. ### Does it matter whether you count one card or two against a three-quarter-pot bet? Count two cards, 51.16%, when the bet is the last money going in, and one card, 29.79%, when the next street brings another bet. At a price of 30.00%, the two numbers give a call and a fold. ## How this is computed The hit chance comes straight from combinations. Out of 1,081 pairs of unseen cards, 528 miss every out, so you hit 51.16% of the time. Read the verdict with its limits in mind. The call is the full bet, so the break-even equity is $75 / $250 = 30.00%. A hit takes the whole pot, no later betting happens, and the 47 unseen cards are all equally likely, with none removed for an opponent's cards.
