Message: [QUOTE="Four Dogs, post: 1824259, member: 2668"] Sorry, he might have been a bit out of line but mathematically he's 100% correct. At 2:1 you were not getting the direct odds to call and probably not the implied odds either. You have to respect an under the gun raise and his raise on the flop should have set off alarms. If you only counted your flush outs you'd need to be getting more than 4:1 odds just to break even. You do have 2 overcards but I wouldn't count them as a full 6 outs. Not knowing the opponent I would say that bluffs are a very small part of his range so it's very unlikely that your AK will take it down unimproved. Also, a flat call in this situation screams flush draw which means your not likely to get paid off when you do make your hand. As it turns out, while your opponents response may have been inappropriate, he did play the hand well up to and including his fold on the obviously flushed board. And oh yeah, you should have raised preflop. [/QUOTE]
