Re: Folding in a big pot when you know you\'re beat :P
 

fold preflop, check flop, check turn. so so bad.

Re: Folding in a big pot when you know you\'re beat :P
 

*grunch*
Preflop - fold (against 1 raise ok; against 3 not so much)
Flop - ok
Turn - probably check (betting won't make anyone fold in this pot and if your trying to build it (which I wouldn't here) than calling doesn't make much sense after he raises).
River - SSH suggests you have to be more than 95% sure you are beaten to fold here... I'm confident you made the right play [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
PS anyone else notice that huge draws like this never lose in the poker books... hmmmm

Fold preflop. Well, ok, it's 6max, so i guess you can call, but cold calling 2.5 with 6 high is scary. I don't think you hit a big draw often enough to make it worth it.

This is bad.

Re: Folding in a big pot when you know you\'re beat :P
 

I fold preflop when I likely have the worst starters with the worst position.

I know you have a lot of outs but I don't bet the turn either.

I'm folding this PF. I don't mind the flop bet (since you'll probably trap BB and MP for 2 bets if CO raises and button calls), but you lost some money on the turn. You're presumably 2.1-to-1 to win if all 15 outs are live, and you're not gaining any value even if both opponents call. I'd call the river just to see CO's hand.

That's a good point I didn't even think of. Is the .25 worth the info gained on the CO player for future hands.

Another Hand
 

I feel like I'd lay this down if I were good.

Re: Another Hand
 

cap flop, fold river. you can't possibly be winning there dude

Re: Folding in a big pot when you know you\'re beat :P
 

You deserved to lose a bunch of money after making that preflop call. That was really bad.

I think it might - also, you lose a lot of image by fold this. If you fold with 78-to-1, you might encourage some river bluffs in future pots... not something I want to worry about.
