Can I fold here ?
 

SB has been at table for one orbit, this is first hand he's played.

Looking back at this now all those calls look awful, educate me please I was really lost here, felt I had pot odds to call flop/turn but not enough equity to raise

I'm not sure what I'd do with this one. I'm trying to think of a PF raising hand that Hero beats, and I'm not coming up with much.

Re: Can I fold here ?
 

why no raise on turn?

EDIT - upmost def beat on river as you know, but I'd call for sanity, and to see villian's 3betting standards

Re: Can I fold here ?
 

Why would I raise the turn? I'm behind, and know it, so it's not for value, and I can't see him folding for one more bet here either!
I think even calling is marginal as spiking the straight could well only give me half the pot

i'm assuming you lost?

actually, i don't mind how you played it. i hate the river card as most any 3-betting preflop hands have you beat, but i'll make the crying call for 1BB on the river- leak, maybe [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

calling is the worst option, so fold then.

Re: Can I fold here ?
 

i think you should be folding on the turn, theres basically nothing you can beat but a bluff or some maniac raising with whatever. All your outs could easily be bad as well.

Can you please educate me as to why calling is the worst option here?

Re: Can I fold here ?
 

I think you can call the turn, since you will be ahead some of the time with a pair of Qs and even if not you still have good odds to call for the OESD,
but I cannot imagine any preflop 3-bet hand that you beat on the river (except maybe agressively played KQs, and that's just for a splitpot).

if you're behind and you know it, why would you call- i'm assuming Hero knows he's up against AK/Q or trips.

the OP might be speaking out of result-oriented thinking, but seeing as SB is unknown, looking at the hand, i can't be certain that he is behind. i do however think raising is a bad option unless you're willing to fold to a 3-bet.
