Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (10 handed)

wasn't playing long before this hand came up. CO and Button are both pretty loose, will play any Ace-rag they get, typical party poker insanity.

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif. CO posts a blind of $0.5.
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 calls, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, CO (poster) calls, Button calls, SB folds, BB folds, UTG+2 calls.

Flop: (9.50 SB) 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, T/images/graemlins/spade.gif, J/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
UTG+2 checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">CO raises</font>, <font color="CC3333">Button 3-bets</font>, UTG+2 folds, Hero ?????

Fold.

Without a cap, you're looking at 16.5:2 (8.25:1) odds, with a cap, 17.5:3 (5.83:1).

Your outs may be good, or may be reverse-dominated, or may make someone a straight. So, of your 6 overcard outs (even counting them at full value) you need 6.83:1 odds to chase. With discounted outs for the reasons above, it's not even close.

Fold. Not worth it , especially when you will probably face a cap.

thats what I was afraid of, thought my Ace outs might be dirty to someone w/ A4, the queen would have given me top pair but I could still be behind to someone with JT who flopped 2 pair. felt like only the kings were clean here.

This is the 1 time in 20 you would have been ok in this situation. Good fold.
