Re: Folding Pocket Aces
Both hands look reasonable, if there's only one player showing aggression on a three suited board, IMO, u should call him down. On both hands, some reads would help, but without them, I think u played these hands fine.
Start with the easier hand, #2:
No way u can fold to the turn raise with a redraw to the nuts. Then for one bet on the river, it's a fairly easy call with the poit laying ~10:1. But perhaps, I'm just a hopeless calling station.
#1: MP2 looks to be waiting for a safe card to get more money in the pot on the turn with the c-r. This move would make sense with either a flopped set, TP, or a low flush. I think most people would slow play the flopped nut flush in this situation and keep others in. MP1 seems like a big club (A?), so I would fold the river if the fourth club hit, but otherwise it's a tough decision. I would lean toward calling down, but i think it's opponent dependent.
Hope that helps and I hope people with more experience can chime in.
