Check/call the river or just fold the turn raise and move on. Looks like dingleberry has A6 or maybe a set. There's no money in the pot and there's not much you can beat.

Okay, so it's a boring hand. I would like a couple more responses til this thread drifts into 2+2 oblivion though.

I muck this as well.

If you feel comfortable folding to a turn raise then that's fine, bet the turn and fold to a raise. I can do this against certain players.

However, if you have no reads on the guy or he could be a bit of a maniac then I generally like to try to get to showdown as cheap as possible. I recommend check/calling the turn and river.

Giving a free card is not horrible since there really are not that many cards that will hurt you if you are ahead, he's probably got 3 outs with a lone king or 2 outs with a pocket pair. If he's got an ace or a set then you are way behind and you lose the least. I wouldn't expect him to be on a draw with that board.

I fold here and not worry too much about it.

Re: Fun with QQ!
 

I muck here more often than not. A lot more.

Thanks, guys, I thought it was a rather routine fold as well, but coming off of a long time off, I just wanted a little boost of confidence.
