Just tell me when to fold...
 

Seriously, I call down too much. I think this is a deep psychological issue involved with not trusting people. Where exactly do I fold here?

As a side note, everytime I take a shot at 5/10 I get my a$$ handed to me. I smell another 290 BB downswing...

Villian is 20.5/15.1/2.25 over 73.

Re: Just tell me when to fold...
 

Depending on how frisky I am feeling, I may fold the turn or even the river. Though most of the time if I call the turn, I am calling the river UI also, since the pot is a good size for HU. Of course stats don't tell you everything, and other factors are needed to know when to fold, such as whether your opponent will fastplay draws or make a 3-bet CBet with A high.

Yeah, that was my my thinking as well. I knew jackshit about this guy.

I think if I saw this hand played by somebody else, I would recommend donk/folding the turn. But I have posts-better-than-plays syndrome. PBTPS?

you and me both, brother


but it wouldn't be as much fun if we weren't making snap auto-judgments while playing 4 tables would it?
probably the most important thing for me to work on. i always seem to think hands through AFTER i play them...better late than never, i guess

Re: Just tell me when to fold...
 

I find it hard to fold top pair against an aggressive opponent in a HU blind battle.

Once you are 3-bet on the flop, you are getting 3:1 to call down. This is what I usually do.

I got my a$$ handed to me when I tok a shot at 5/10 too.
