Couldda popped her pf, but I don't think it matters much either way. Flop bet seemed standard. Turn seemed a bit more interesting.

I would shutdown, I'm not looking to burn any more chips this early at all. No Reason to pop pf either in L1 imo

Re: $55... Long Time No Post
 

I'm guessing you don't have any reads at this point. On one hand, you don't want to burn too many chips this early. On the other, I doubt you're behind. I'd bet about half the pot and see what happens.

Re: $55... Long Time No Post
 

no need to bet into all the donks with this hand. Someone will call and you will have no way of knowing where you stand. A flush draw wil likelt have pair outs you can't see and you can't really bet this turn to "protect" your hand since some idiots will call down KJ and others will check raise you here with there sets.

Check and fold this hand on the flop.

And don't raise pf.

I think he has the best hand here more than often enough for your advice to be dead wrong. Maybe hero's line wasn't the best, but check-folding against one limper is a far worse play. Sure, weak kings could call you down, and you don't want to burn a ton of chips if that's the case, but you can't give up so easily.

One of which was our hero, three of the others checked the flop in front of hero. I don't see anything wrong with taking a shot at narrowing the field here. If one of the other four players gives him reason to fold, he's still got plenty of chips. If there had been a bet and a raise in front of hero, my advice would have been different.

Don't you think the fact that you're more often than not gonna be throwing chips away is good enough reason not to worry about narrowing the field? It's not like you're protecting a big hand. If someone gives you a call, that's good enough reason to assume you're beat. Whether it's a king or a draw or a total donk call, you have to give it up now anyways.... so what's the point in getting involved. Do you actually expect someone to pay you off with a pair of 7s to make up for the times that you're throwing chips away?
