First orbit at table. Can I profitably call this bet here? I figured that there are enough worse 2 pairs, Pairs with Flush draws and sometimes just TP hands that may make this bet here. So is this a snap call here. Villain was a short stacker as well which kind of made me think it was an easy call.

Also could someone please tell me how much equity I need here and how this calculation is done (noob question I know but I need to know)

Full Tilt Poker, $0.25/$0.50 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 5 Players
LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter

Hero (BB): $49
UTG: $31.05
CO: $91
BTN: $54
SB: $23.75

Pre-Flop: A K dealt to Hero (BB)
UTG calls $0.50, 2 folds, SB calls $0.25, Hero raises to $2.50, UTG folds, SB calls $2

Flop: ($5.50) 8 J K (2 Players)
SB checks, Hero bets $3.25, SB calls $3.25

Turn: ($12) A (2 Players)
SB bets $18 and is All-In, Hero calls $18

Very standard IMO. Villain doesnt even have 50bb at the start of the hand.

I'm sorry you lost, but this is very standart!

I'd make it 3$ preflop though, cause UTG is more inclined to call than SB, and you will be OOP.

After villain goes all-in there is $30 in pot and you need to call $18. Thats roughly 1.5 to 1 pot odds. Add 1 to the 1.5 and you need to win pot one out of every 2.5 tries to break even or about 40%. To be exact 30/18 = 1.6666. To get percentage chances needed to break even 100/(1+1.6666) = 37.5%. In this situation you look to have the better hand more than that.
