A slowplaying question...with a little bit of pot odds.

Had to make some edits after a few mistakes.

Its called 'implied odds' Chris. Its a thing you have to decide for yourself (as you did), how much more money will you get if you hit your draw? If you think its a good amount then you could call where otherwise you may fold.

Cool just wanted to make that clear.. knew it would be a factor for any pooker player but just clearing the idea of it up.

On the specifics - you have 15 outs here. So are a little worse than a 2/1 shot. 2/1 will do fine basically, no need to be too specific.

Remember that 2 of the cards that make your straight also make your flush so theres only 6 outs to the straight in an open ended straight/flush draw.

A note also - youre actually favourite to make your hand if you get all in after the flop comes here. Its around 55% you make straight or flush on turn or river - quite a nice stat that.

As it happens you were getting the odds on your call on the flop by his weak bet so thats fine. An alternative play here, as you had position and a big draw, would be to raise. He may fear your hand and check to you on the turn enabling you to get a free river card to hit your draw. But as you were getting nearly 4/1 on your call thats fine just to call there as your 2/1ish.

You were getting the odds to call after the turn as well. There was $30.50 in the pot and you had to call $12. You didnt even need implied odds here as it happens.

Obviously the guy was calling me every name under the son when he lost and try as I might I couldnt justify it to him
