| Outs are simply the number of cards in the deck that will give you the hand you are after. If you are on a flush draw and have 4 of your suit, then there are 9 cards left in the deck of that suit, so you have 9 outs. If you have an open-ended straight draw (e.g. KQJT), then any A or 9 will give you a striahgt, so you have 8 outs. If you have a gutshot straight draw (e.g. AKJT) then any Q will give you a straight draw, so you have 4 outs. And if you have both a flush and a straight draw, you ... |

Hmmm, why would you want heads up with a drawing hand? Sure, if you are good at reading your opponoent, then it is easier to tell if you are ahead or behind when you only are against one person, but the main benefit of these hands is being able to draw to a very strong hand. Which means you want more people in the pot to give you the odds to draw and to have a better chance of somone hitting a decent hand like 2 pair so you get paid when you do hit.
I certainly know the value of ... |

| I used to try and do this alot, but ran into too many situations where it failed because the other person checked as well. Now I gnerally go ahead and bet the river if I have a monster hand. I tend to still mix it up a bit. Betting small to try and induce them to raise back, but still getting some value in if they just call. Or betting as big as I think they will call if I think they will call but not raise. The only time I generally try to check raise the river is if I'm playing a very ... |

Pot Odds for calling with suited connectors

So hands that you are supposed to limp in with in good position, suited connectors, suited aces, etc. What type of pot odds are you looking for in a 6-10 ring cash game in order to call a raise and see the flop?
For example, live cash game, say 8 people, you are just before or at the button, have 3-4 people limp in before you, so you limp in with SC or AXs and then the big blind makes a pretty standard raise to 5xBB or so. How many people do you need to have call the raise in order ... |

How do you reconcile trying to bet enough to push out draws but not build up a big pot for someone who flopped something better than your TPTK?

I'll pay alot more to see a flop with 22 than I will with any raggish suited cards, for the simple fact that it is so hard to read that someone has a set, while the flush is out there for everyone to see.

I'll sometimes make a semi-weak raise in position with a good draw, if I think that raise will get me some respect on the hand and let me see a free river card if I need to. Have to have a good read on the players though, you don't want to chase off any weaker hands or draws and you don't want to run into a large re-raise from the initial bettor.

pwned has been around for ages in online, player versus player games, you kick the shit out of someone in an online fantasy game or something, you yell "PWNED" as you run off.
Not sure how it got started, but I've never heard any specific definition for it that is different than "OWNED".
