Default Re: bad fold?

Eh.. you don't have to bet the turn, though doing so might not be bad.

The answer to this question depends strongly on who you are playing against. But generally, he is too likely to be bluffing for you to fold for one small bet in a nine bet pot. If you check the turn, he might check behind, for instance.

When you 3-bet out of the blinds like this, you have to be willing to hold onto your hand a little bit because the pot is significantly bigger.
