Default Re: dazed and confused

I don't like your turn fold at all for the reasons I already posted earlier in the thread (not least of which is the size of the pot and the odds being offered on calling the turn). I guess others don't agree, but this hand was played pretty bizarrely by Villain and since I believe there is a decent chance you win this hand / improve and win this hand (decent being related to your effective calldown odds) I'd be pretty hardpressed to not see a showdown here -- I think seeing results in this hand, and understanding why Villain played it as he did, has a lot more value for future hands than more typical "it's close and the SD will have read value for me" type situation.

To MicroBob: I've seen FDs played ridiculously like this as well, just not terribly often. It happens, but I guess in my experience it happens closer to the unusual side of the ledger than the common. And of course if I'm underestimating the frequency of this play, then all the more reason to see a showdown in this hand.
