If I felt opponent had nothing, then maybe something in the range of 850-1000 might take the pot (or force a mistake)
Good point.

Thank you everyone for your input. I am taking it all in. It has given me more to think about in future hands.

Even though i don't agree with the preflop play, i have to say Amazing call! I couldn't have made it. You made a read and had the guts to stick by it.

well played

Well after further review of this hand implied odds are going to have to play out since you have gone so deep in this hand without having any idea where you are at in the hand. Lets see 1. 2300 in pot 1800 to call. thats worth 15% value 2. It is 50/50 in your mind whether this player has total air or a good hand. worth 50% value 3. Your opponent surely does not have the trips, would not want to scare you out of the pot, so maybe a 4 or caught ten on turn, or the open ender is very possible. Lets give your hand value around 25%. Well you are very close to 100% and while not really comfortable about where you stand in the hand it turns out to be the right call
