when to get out

[dfscott]

I'm still adjusting to this new limit and I'm all over the place with my play. I'm trying to tighten up pre-flop and be more agressive post-flop, but it's getting me into trouble. I know I needed to get away from this, but I'm not sure when I should've.

Fold to the turn raise?

Looks like UTG wanted to go for some overcalls on the flop with his trip 5's. I think that's probably the "standard" thing most players like to do here.

It would be an easier fold if the turn had been an Ace of King, but I think you can fold to the turn raise unless you know something about UTG that I don't.

I do, unless UTG is some kind of maniac or habitual semi-bluffer

You're a lot closer than I was -- I was expecting to see a jack. He turned over 77.
