Re: Wow, I raised and folded to a 3bet.
I agree with the group that this is a strange way to play the hand, but I kinda like it. You really need to get the hand head's up. The way it played out, you may get Seat 1 to fold a pair of Jacks. Folding to the 3-bet depends on the player, and with no read I think you're probably right to fold. Most players wouldn't 3-bet with 2 small pair. Possible hands for a rational opponent and my guess at percentage chance of holding it:
a made straight 25%
trips 25%
a pair and a good draw 20%
just a good draw 10%
two pair 10%
a buried big pair 10%
Obviously, I'm pulling these numbers out of an orfice. But I would say 50% of the time you are hurting big-time, 40% you are a dog but still have decent outs, and 10% you're a small favorite.
The big pot you've made has made the decision challenging. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
