For example lets say you have Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and raise it 3X big blind

And the flop is

2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

You are first to act and make a pot sized bet and get it heads up.

Turn card is a 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

You make another pot size bet and are called.

River is a 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

You check and other player goes all in.

Is this a definite fold? To many times I call and then I get to see all those chips slide across the table to someone else.

What are you putting the guy on when he goes all in? Outside an absolutely bluff the only thing you can beat would be someone with maybe a starting hand of A-J.. the other probable hands of calling your 3xBB is a pocket pair probably moderate size or better. If I had to bet in the above hand the guy had pocket Jacks giving him the second best hand possible.

But more importantly is your rational for calling here, someone holding a 5 beats you, or 3 different pocket pairs. I am thinking you believe the person is bluffing and you just have to give someone credit for a legitimate hand unless they are a completely wild player.
