We regret that we need to do this and hope that the US government will soon clarify the law and create a framework that allows US-based poker players to play the game they love safely and openly. We encourage you to contact your Congressperson to express your view that poker is not, and should not, be illegal and we encourage you to support candidates at all levels that share that view.

In the meantime, we welcome you to check out PokerSavvy Plus, our poker training product that is fully accessible to United States residents. Thanks for your understanding.

9h Th -- Late Position

You limped with 4 other players to see a flop of Ah Js 4h. An early position player bets and all fold to you. What factors do you consider.

Cards: Given the nature of the board, you can be pretty certain that you are behind. But you've flopped a nice flush draw.
Action: The early position bet likely indicates that the early position player has an Ace.
Odds: It's going to cost you $1 to see the turn. Pre-flop $4 went into the pot,and the early-position player's bet ads another $1, for a total of $5. You are roughly a 4:1 underdog to hit your flush on the turn. This means that you're getting proper pot odds to draw for the flush.

Your move: Call. Trying to hit that flush has a positive expectation with that much money in the pot.
