lol - you don't wan't to get caught in the cross fire between Beer and good ole Ponchoo. That was a great raise by Beer on third. With a dead queen, and knowing the history of the two opponents, I would likely have folded too, maybe even on third. I would be convinced that all hell was about to break loose, and that I would be stuck chasing with a marginal hand. I would also have credited Beer to have a better hand than he had. He is a shark.

Then again I would have been wrong in this case, so what do I know. Beer if your listening - nice play.

Which players were just arguing that you shouldn't try to isolate with underpair and overcard kicker? /images/graemlins/wink.gif

I would almost always at least see 5th here but I don't think folding is out of the question.

Yep, there was a thread about it a couple of days ago , but it only got two replies. Kind of sad, since it’s a fascinating topic.

I wouldnt have folded fourth for the reason that beer is a shark, and having played a great deal with him I dont think hes raising third with 5A5 when a dead ace is in plain sight. He can correct me if he reads this and he actually would have. Therefore the ace dosent scare me as much as a king would on fourth. I would have put beer on what he had (5K5), pocket kings, or a pair of fives with a strait flush kicker trying to play against dead queens. I guess I also have to throw in a three flush like K /images/graemlins/club.gif 8 /images/graemlins/club.gif 5 /images/graemlins/club.gif since beer has been known to love jamming with three flushes on third when he drinks......and when hes sober. /images/graemlins/confused.gif Beer played this hand perfectly.
