how bout fold preflop?

Re: 20+2, what\'s my line?
 

Firstly calling preflop isn't great, I would fold to the hefty raise, but if you want to play OOP as a likely underdog, thats your choice.

Your bet on the flop [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]. What's your plan here? Trying to get AK and AQ to fold? In this spot I would check hoping for a free card but if someone bet's I'll checkraise all in.

Counting all of these as outs is pretty wrong. Given your opponents action he probably had from 99-AA or AK or AQ (given his push AK and AQ are unlikely). Certainly you have 9 nut flush outs, You ace out is worth 1, Queen outs are worthless, a T gives you a str8 but villian, may have TT, so say 3 outs. So this is 9+1+3=13 outs. So you are a bit under 50-50 to win this hand. But given the pot size you really can't get away from such a strong drawing hand, so yep go all in.

This post rocks, please post more often.

And yes, checkraise the flop allin is my default line too for the reasons stated above.

His avatar rocks too.

And I also fold preflop...your probably behind, and definatly OOP, no need to spew your chips this early.

Re: 20+2, what\'s my line?
 

I fold preflop.

But given that you have called preflop. I proabrly check/fold or check/raise on the flop depending on how the action goes. I used to lean towards checkraising here, but i am starting to think that on a board like that i do not need to gameble on a 50/50 and so can check/fold.
