I dont understand... you fold TPTK because the guy trapped in the middle raised a minraise to narrow the field? You feel he might have a set? You think he would limp with 99 or JJ?

I like him for a club draw, maybe Aj/KJ or just a big bluff.

Yes.

I am not understanding this. Why?

Re: Standard Fold RIght?
 

At first i too thought that this was a very standard fold, but then it's pretty reasonably to think that they are flush draws, i just feel J9 is a very reasonable hand. And since i have the A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] a club draw that he is raising with might be some type of OESFD or a gutshot straight flush draw. Maybe I'm just afraid of playing poker.

So if i decide to continue playing this hand...you must raise, right? Because i'm beating draws. SO do you push it t0 $25 or $30 and fold to a push. If he calls and a blank comes on the turn and he bets,what do you do?

Re: Standard Fold RIght?
 

people limp with pocket 2s and 9s all the time. Odd questions.

The real question with this hand, to me, is do you want to play a large pot with a pair of jacks top kicker with little chance to improve?

Re: Standard Fold RIght?
 

The only thing here I am really fearing is a set. Even then, unless its a set of Jacks, you have outs. A reraise will almost guarentee that the third guy folds and will chase any bluffs or longshot draws. I think $30 would to well. Anything else is still giving near 2-1 odds which isnt bad on the flop for a 4 flush or oesd.

This whole paragraph illustrates why you should fold. Risk/reward ration is unacceptable.

I'd limp with 2s... probably not 9s. But meh.

As for whether I would play with a pair of jacks and top kicker, I dont have any solid reason not to. "most flops miss most people"

Re: Standard Fold RIght?
 

A fold seems fine here if you don't want to play TPTK with barely any redraws to a hand that is beating you.
