Anybody fold a straight here?
 

BB is 45/1/.2 Very passive and straightforward, doens't bet or raise without the goods. So far my reads on him have been correct.

ummm...no. not in this big pot for 1BB with a possibility of a slowplayed Ace or a donk-paired K.

How many hands against this guy? It's mighty dangerous to fold a 19BB pot for a single bet. I'd need at least 300-400 hands before I'd give the .2 enough credit to fold this, and even then I'm not sure.

there is no way in hell im folding here.
i think you see them playing Ax this way more than enough for it to be worth it.

No.

Pot's too large to fold to such a scare card. Even with the stats you have it wouldn't stop me thinking he was making a grab for the pot. I mean he might of been playing KK weakly given how passive his stats made him.

I'd of been more curious about MP2 to worry about BB.

MP2 has a big A just about 100% of the time.

No foldie. You will cry if you don't see a flush here. It's a costly mistake if you fold the best hand.

It certainly does appear that you will be shown a flush by one (or both) opponents, but it's just one bet going into a pot that is giving you 19-1 odds to call. Are you sure that 18 out of 19 times you're beat here?

I think it is a terrible fold. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Very, very rarely would I fold this, even against loose passives, but I felt that my read on this guy was rock solid based on his playing habits, not stats alone. Turns out I was right although I understand the arguments for not folding this in a 19BB pot.
