Topic: Interesting NL hand, Game Theory analysis... Forum: Bonus Whores
$1 / $2 NL

Well, i have 4 6 spades ($240 in chips) in the cutoff and limp

button ($275 in chips) (tight player) raises - to $8

BB Calls, I call

Flop is Qc 3d 5s

BB Checks
I Bet $10 (hoping to take a cheap card or gage if he's on AK or something to that effect)
Button Raises to $50 ($85 in the pot, $40 for me to call the raise)
BB Folds

At this point, I know he's on a big pair or AQ (at the very least) and i don't think he's capable of making a laydown of that sort if i move all in here (the calculations i made later show that all in is an awful play)

So basically, i'm left with 2 options, call and see the turn and hope i hit, or lay it down on the flop (if i hit, i'm about 95% confident i get paid off)

Now, I obviously folded... but when i went back and made some calculations for the hand, my EV was highest calling the flop raise and folding if i missed on the turn (unless the turn was a spade, in which case, i could justify a reasonable sized call).... and my EV (assuming my opponent folded 55% of the time to an all-in) was higher than just folding on the flop

so clearly... all in was a bad option (cause, again, i don't think he's capable of folding his hand more than 10%)...

i went into some game theory to check out my results, but my EV by calling the flop bet is ~~+$30... by folding my EV is (-$1


Now, anyone with any thoughts on this... or whether my calculations were way too generous for calling on the flop... i really feel like i threw away money by making this fold... any thoughts...
