Somehow after missing this thread for almost 2 years and spending 20 minutes reading it.... i still dont know whether to laugh or cry!

OP is hands down either the stupidest or most brilliant person ever. That is, if he is kidding and is really just 3rd leveling all of us, then this is the biggest ownage ever. If he is serious, then all I can say is YSSCKY.

OP, in case you are serious can you please recommend a good line for a situation I commonly face?

Basically, lets say I hold 7c7s and my opponent holds 45d. Usually the flop is something like

2d2s7d

My question is should I fold here if he pushes all in since he has 9 outs to improve and I only have 3? It would appear that I am a 3:1 dog, so folding here is clearly the correct play right?
Are you seriously asking whether or not you should fold a full house on the flop? You're a moran. Even 2/7 offsuit can get lucky on the flop, that doesn't change the fact that you shouldn't overplay your 77 preflop because you're in bad shape against 4/5 suited. Maybe you like getting your money in preflop with the worst of it, not me though, thats why I have made HUNDREDS of dollars playing poker.

3:1 is the new coinflip
rigged
People who think online poker is rigged only do because they're too dense to realize that when their pocket pairs get "cracked," thats not a bad beat, they were in fact 3:1 dogs.

LOL this post made my day

wow. just saw this thread. just wow
OP is my hero. I would have never expected anyone to get levelled like this. I DEFNITELY think too high of people with 2k posts on this forum.

And on the other note - this thread should be DEFINATELY in Poker Theory as this is DEFNITELLY strategy thread, right?
I can see that OP placed it here just to get bigger crowd.

I gotta admit it took me a little too long to catch the sarcasm.

Still I was laughing for a half hour going through these old posts, thank you for the bump.

Whats your point? KQ still has more outs than AA.

What if its four way and hands are AA, KQ, KQ, KQ, does KQ split the pot 50% of time? 1 K and 1 Q left in deck = 2 outs and 2 A's left in deck = 2. Both have 50% chance of hitting!?
Will you coach me? I want to learn the percentages

But thats completely irrelevant. You determine how good your hand is by counting how many outs you have, and then converting those outs to a percentage of the time where you win, and then seeing if you're getting "pot odds." So, for example, If I have 2 spades in my hand and there are two on the board on the turn, then I have nine outs because there is a 9/46 chance that I will make my flush, so I need to be getting more than 46:9 on any money I put into the pot. The same concept applies to your pocket pairs. You only have two outs, so you'd better be getting 46:2 on your money or you're playing like a donk. With KQ, you've got 6 outs, so if your'e getting 46:6 on your money, then you're ok. Do you understand now noob?
