Please bear with me on the hand history details as this is my maiden voyage.
This is a hand of 1-2 plo cash played out in the early hours of Sunday morning last at the d4 deepstack event.
9 handed - approx stacks of players involved in hand
seat 2 villain1 535
seat 4 hero 2200
seat 8 villain2 235
Button is on seat 1. There is 80 in the pre-flop pot after a raise from the semi blind villain 1 and calls from the two players outlined above. I can't remember exact details but hero and villain2 have both limped as have others and villain1 has been able to max raise to 25. Villain1, a young german, is playing tight agressive, knows the game and hasn't made too many mistakes while villain2 is the worse for wear, hasn't been at the table long and is already chasing losses. Hero is playing loose agressive as its that time of the morning when this strategy is paying off.
Hero calls pre flop with Q 3 6 7 o/s 1 club.
Flop comes Qc 4h 5c.
Hero has top pair and a wrap 2 to the 8, bets out max 80.
Villain2 snaps all-in 210.
Villain1 snaps all-in 505.
Decision for hero is call of 425 into a total pot of 1220, main pot 630 and side pot of 590.
Basically I figure I'm getting pot odds of 2/1 to my call with potentially 17 outs on both remaining cards. Thats 2,3,6,7,8 x 4 less 3,6,7 in my hand.
My best case scenario, however unlikely, is that both villains have trips with no flush draws or re-draws in which case the call is a no-brainer.
My worst case scenario is that villain1 has the nut flush draw with aces,villain2 has trips and both have some of my outs.
Potentially a flush draw out there and both villains having a 2,3,6,7 or 8 reduces my outs to 11 outs on both remaining cards.
I'm just not sure how to factor in the odds of the flush or house arriving aginst my own potential draw.
Can I ever make this call? Opinions please.
