the turn is the only street you might consider folding, but like a lot of 6-max play, it's read dependent.

I like it. I'd need a pretty good read on the button to fold the turn.

I can find a fold on the turn. I don't think it's an overplayed AK or 33 enough. There's really not much we can beat that's played like this.

"it's gonna kill when she deserts me..."


Sometimes, mostly when I run bad, I decide to give up fighting for pots where my edge is small, like this one. Because it's gonna hurt. Then my bad run just continues.

I think giving this one up on the flop is a losing proposition. You'd be giving up less by just folding preflop.

You can fold the turn against some players.

After folding preflop, I play the same as you /images/graemlins/smile.gif
