UTG2 folds, Hero calls $0.02, MP2 raises to $0.14, 5 folds, Hero calls $0.12.

Flop: ($0.31) 5:c, 4:c, 7:c (2 players)
Hero bets $0.24, MP2 calls $0.24.

Turn: ($0.79) K:c (2 players)
Hero checks, MP2 bets $0.54, Hero calls $0.54.

River: ($1.87) 9:h (2 players)
Hero checks, MP2 bets $0.56, Hero folds, MP2 gets uncalled bet back.

Final Pot: $1.87.

Can I call on turn? I made some calculations. Since he obviously has a flush he won't be folding it on the river no matter what card comes up. So I can use implied odds to call. I have 10 outs which gives me 1:3,6 odds, and my implied odds are 1:5. So I can call turn?

Hi,

Be careful with implied odds, just because he has a lot of money behind in his stack doesn't mean you automatically win it all when you hit a boat, so you can't count all of it as implied odds. If he knows what's he's doing he might check behind a flush or fold to a shove on a board pairing river, so you need to think a bit about how you plan to get the money out of him on the next street before calling the turn.

That being said i think you only need him to put in another like $0.7 on the river to make that call, which sounds reasonable. He's probably not folding a flush to a less than 1/2 pot donk from you, even if the board pairs.

Hope it helps.
