Default Re: turn

Lots of people are referring to fold equity, but what exactly are you talking about? Folding equity generally refers to equity gained when a villain makes fold that has lower EV than calling or raising. The value of folding equity is the difference in EV between villain's optimal decision and his fold, which is simply the EV of villain's most EV positive play. (His mistake becomes our gain).

In this situation, with this loose opponent, he is almost always seeing a SD with A high. He is never folding a pair. If he folds any of his 6-outers, he is making a correct fold. I agree that a bet is best, but on the grounds of pure pot equity. Sorry for being a nit, but I think it's important to clarify the fundamental factors driving our decisions.
