"Because of this, you were guessing both on the flop and on the turn. I don't like guessing because it's possible to guess wrong. Folding on the flop means you give up chances at winning a small pot while it's still early without taking a big hit to your chip stack. "

This pot isn't so small right now. There's about 400 chips in the pot, which is quite signifigant when you have a 1000 chip stack. This simply isn't a clear fold.


Secondly - "You were either a tiny favorite on the flop or a huge underdog, due to the combination of many players either flopping a set or making a draw later on. Calling in that spot is giving your money away."

What hand are you a tiny favorite over here? There's no flush draw, and an unlikely straight draw. You are probably either way ahead or way behind.


I'm not advocating any specific play right now, because I want to think about it more, but I know that folding isn't clear cut.
