Protecting Second Pair

[Jingleheimer]

1/2 Pacific

I post in CO; Jc4c
5 to flop for 1 bet each

Flop AJ6r, one club

Checked to MP2 who bets, one folds action to me. I raise.

Is this a good play?

Then all fold to the original raiser who calls.

Turn is a club. He bets, I call.

River is a blank. He bets, I fold.

Thanks for any comments.

No. Fold the flop.

Isn't this a PF fold as well?

he posted in the co.

If your kicker was higher then a raise would be the play. In this case fold.

It would have been had he not posted. Fold the flop. This isn't a good situation for a free card flop raise, where you should have added value back door draws and a good kicker for your mid pair.

Sorry there was a typo there- I had Jc4c

If his kicker isn't an A or 6 folding this flop isn't to much of a mistake IMO.

I'll fold if kicker Q>

That makes it less questionable, but I still drop. You've got 1.5 outs with the bd flush draw, and undiscounted you've got your 5 J & 4 outs.
