Hey, what do you think about Player 5 folding his As Kh? Do you think he did the right move or wrong move?
Welp (yes, this is the web slang word for “Well”), Player 3 would win about 39.6% of the time (approximately) and Player 5 about 59.9% of the time based on the cards, now, before the flop. Unsuited AK needs help with the flop and Player 5 may be very tight.
Would I have called it myself? At this table, with this group of players, probably.
