Default Re: Ducks good?

Ok, I'll explain a bit more. Firstly, if you're going to play the hand like this, you need to bet the river and fold to a raise.

About 33% of the time he'll have a big pair here (I think so anyway, this is based off memory, I could be wrong.) In his position, I would wait until the turn to raise and maybe the river if I know you're a donk who keeps on firing. In those situations, you lose a lot while drawing to 2 outs.

The rest of the time, someone else will probably have a flush draw or a 9 or something bigger and is waiting for the PFR to bet so they can raise. Your relative position to the PFR sucks. When they open-limp in MP3 and CO, that leads me to believe they're loose and suck, therefore could be limping with anything.

Assuming you're ahead, even if everyone else folds besides the PFR, you have a great chance of getting outdrawn.

HU and maybe 3 handed it would be different but I like position in those situations. This is just a bad situation to be in. Check-fold the flop.
