A three-quarter-pot bet needs 30.00%, so the verdict is call." related: ["https://georgelipoker.com/call-or-fold.md"] --- # Call or Fold: 19 Outs vs 3/4 pot, Flop 19 outs on the flop hit 65.03% by the river. A three-quarter-pot bet needs 30.00%, so the verdict is call. Facing a three-quarter-pot bet on the flop with 19 outs, the call is correct: 65.03% to hit against 30.00% needed. - Verdict: Call (19 outs, flop, three-quarter-pot bet) - Chance to hit by the river: 65.03% (two cards to come) - Equity the call needs: 30.00% ($75 into a pot of $250) - Margin over the price: +35.03 points (your chance minus the price) ## How the verdict is reached The price is 30.00% and your chance is 65.03%. You sit 35.03 points above the line, which is a wide gap, so you call. Think of 19 outs as a running total of every card that improves you. 19 of the 47 unseen cards qualify, which is 40.43% on one card. ## A $100 pot, step by step - The pot before betting: $100 - The bet: $75 - Your call: $75 - Pot after your call: $250 - Net gain when you hit: $175 - What a miss costs: $75 - Your chance to hit: 65.03% - Expected value of a call: +$87.58 - Equity the call needs: 30.00% - Unrounded margin: +35.0324 points - Outs that exactly reach the price: 7.59 outs - Outs to spare, exactly: +11.41 outs Suppose a hit wins the entire pot, a miss loses your call, and no more betting follows. The average gain is $113.81, the average loss is $26.23, and calling gains $87.58 on average, or +1.168 per dollar called. Read as odds: 0.54 : 1 against you, 2.33 : 1 from the pot. A common slip is to divide the bet by the pot after the bet but before your call. That gives 42.86% instead of 30.00% and would put your margin at +22.1752 points. Using the bet over the starting pot, 75.00%, is further off and would put it at -9.9676 points. ## Slack in the call If some outs turned out to be shared with a better hand, you could give up 11 outs and still call. The floor is 8, at 31.45%. Price of a three-quarter-pot call if you give money back after a hit, 19 outs on the flop | Given back later | Price with it | Your chance minus price | Value of the call | Call? | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | $0 | 30.00% | +35.03 points | +$87.58 | Call | | $10 | 31.25% | +33.78 points | +$81.08 | Call | | $25 | 33.33% | +31.70 points | +$71.32 | Call | | $50 | 37.50% | +27.53 points | +$55.06 | Call | | $100 | 50.00% | +15.03 points | +$22.55 | Call | Break-even on later streets sits at $134.67 given back, or 1.80 times your call. ## One card or two 19 outs against a three-quarter-pot bet, one view per row | Cards counted | Chance | Margin over price | Value of the call | Verdict | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | By the river, two cards | 65.03% | +35.0324 points | +$87.58 | Call | | Next card only | 40.43% | +10.4255 points | +$26.06 | Call | Both views point the same way. By the river you hit 65.03%, on the next card 40.43%, and the price is 30.00%, so the call holds whichever number applies. ## Neighbors of this draw The table shows 19 outs and the draws around it on the flop, all against the same three-quarter-pot bet.

Compare 65.03%, your chance to hit by the river, with 30.00%, the equity a three-quarter-pot bet needs. The gap is +35.03 points, so this is a call. In dollars on a $100 pot, the call averages +$87.58 when no more betting follows. ### What is the fewest outs that can call a three-quarter-pot bet on the flop? You need at least 8 outs against a three-quarter-pot bet on the flop. That count hits 31.45% against 30.00% needed, and 7 falls short at 27.84%. With 19 you are 11 past the minimum. ### Which hit chance fits a three-quarter-pot bet on the flop? Match the number to the betting: 65.03% if all-in or checked down, 40.43% if you face another bet on the turn. The price is 30.00%, and both numbers agree on call. ## How this is computed Everything is computed from the closed form. Pairs without an out: 378 of 1,081. The rest, 65.03%, hold at least one out. The numbers are a baseline rather than a prediction for one hand. The price is 30.00%, from $75 into $250, and the chance assumes a whole pot won on a hit, no more betting, 47 equally likely unseen cards, and no cards removed for the other player. Computed from the closed form by the GeorgeLiPoker math library. ## Related pages - [19 outs on the flop](https://georgelipoker.com/outs/19-outs-flop.md) - [Pot odds for a three-quarter-pot bet](https://georgelipoker.com/pot-odds/three-quarter-pot.md) - [Pot odds calculator](https://georgelipoker.com/tools/pot-odds-calculator.md) - [Outs calculator](https://georgelipoker.com/tools/outs-calculator.md) - [Call or fold with a draw](https://georgelipoker.com/call-or-fold.md) ## Related - [Call or Fold With a Draw by Bet Size](https://georgelipoker.com/call-or-fold.md)
