Re: Cold Call 3 and Chase; Bet Sklansky Didn\'t Teach This!
not to be too harsh but I don't like the play on any street. I fold pre-flop. I can understand calling though as if you do hit a set you do have lots of fish to pay you off. The flop is bad for you - I would fold here even if I was sure I was ahead. You really need to hit a 5 at this point and not the 5 of hearts which means you are drawing to one out - fold. The turn 4 of diamond gives you a couple of outs you can feel good about (the two black 2a and the two black 7s). You might win with a 2 or 7 of diamond (we'll generously call that one out but I wouldn't count either 5 as an out at this point. So you have 5 outs. The river is the 5 making a one card straight possible. Your three 5s are beat - there is no way I would raise here - you might get someone with a 2 to fold but I don't think it is enough.
In summary:
preflop - fold
flop - fold
turn - fold
river - fold
