Folding TPTK on river
 

All i had on this guy was that he was 50/10 after like 30 or so hands.

Is this just awful? I've noticed my WTSD is pretty low and I wonder if it's for things like this. Should I just be assuming players will make a play like this here with a Q or even a bluff?

I think it's a good fold. Without a read you just can't call this. A case could be made for check calling if you think he will bet an A some of the time.

I like this, it gives him a chance to bluff worse hands and if he has you beat you still see a showdown with one bet.

Because worse hands will call you? It's called a value bet.

Fold is standard.


PS - Sorry for being testy, I'm down $6,000 in the last 2 days, don't mind me. That... and I'm a dick.

Worse queens, a few pocket pairs, and Ace-high will call down a LOT here.

if a naked ace will really call then nice game selection. I don't trust the people I play with so I check call. If you can trust them then bet fold seems okay.
