  1. Was sure he had the flush from his min-raise on flop. If I was sure should I just have folded turn?

  2. A quote from TJ Cloutier: Poker player continue to make errors when the call off chips, when they know they are behind, and not getting a good price to call for improvement.
    See the flop 4 handed 4*30 = 120 pot
    *** FLOP *** [7c Qc 2c]
    jclark21: bets 100
    siderno666: folds
    BamaJama77: raises 100 to 200
    Pot = 120+100+200= 420, PO 2.1:1 or 32.1% is the kind of hand you need to make this call.

    You flopped a set. Assuming your opponents both have (a) flushes or (b) pairs with flush draws, you might win if you make a fullhouse. You have 7 outs. You are about 35.0% to improve to a full house by the river. {(52-5)-7} = 40 bad cards. 7/40 = 17.5% on the turn, & 10/39 = 25.6% on the river since you pick up three outs if you don't make a fullhoouse or quads on the turn. The odds look correct to take one off on the flop. And you have position on the field.

    Good sign, You only have one opponent.
    Pot = 620
    *** TURN *** [7c Qc 2c] [9h]
    BamaJama77(950 behind): bets 330
    Pot = 950, PO of 95:33 2.88:1 so you need 25.77% equity to make the call.
    You have 10 outs and 10/39 = 25.64% equity this is very close to being exactly correct. Not to bad to make the call at this price (very small 0.13% equity error; less than 1% error).
    Smedgous(1205 behind): calls 330 <<< a reasonable call for the price, if you can fold a set when you don't improve.
    *** RIVER *** [7c Qc 2c 9h] [Jc]
    BamaJama77: bets 450
    Smedgous: folds

    I think you played the hand reasonably well based on the price you get.
  3. TY, well thought out.
