O-Poker

OK. Yesterday's hand was pretty simple. I am ahead of most hands like overpairs (55/45) and only a small dog to a set (40%/60%). I didn't think that The Sweeper had a strong enough hand to get all in with, but cornellxc1 had shown obvious strength and I had to figure that his range was a set, overpair, or outside shot that he was on the nut flush draw.

Please, correct me in the comments if you see an error in my calcs. I think that I have his range correct, but welcome any thoughts to the contrary.
40% of his hands = overpair (55/45 favorite)
40% of his hands = set (40/60 dog)
10% of his hands = straight draw (prob smaller % but assuming 10% for calcs) (57/43 favorite)
10% of his hands = nut flush draw (36/64 dog)

40% x 55% = 22%
40% x 40% = 16%
10% x 57% = 5.7%
10% x 36% = 3.6%

Assuming the above is his range, I am about a 47/53 underdog - close to a coin flip.

There is $52 in the pot preflop plus assuming $30 of dead money in the pot from The Sweeper, so $82 before cornell's raise. I am working under the assumption that sweeper is folding and cornell will either call an all-in or bet enough on the turn to put me all in if I flat call. So, I am getting $431+$82 = $513 to $431 on money. I was definitely getting the right odds against his range and raised enough to commit myself/show that I was committed. I lost the race.

I think that the calculation also shows why the hand has to be played a little more cautiously when deep stacked as noted by several of the comments on my last post.

--------------------------------
I guess I shouldn't play 78 (suited or not) any more. The next hand took place at the same table earlier in the session.

The Sweeper (34/20/2.5 over 700+ hands) appears to be pretty loose. This is early in the session and most of the stats are mined.
