Default Re: Easy call down?

Certainly you can't fold. A 3-bet is interesting for several reasons:

1) you may fold out a pair and give yourself two more outs when you're behind
2) you might fold a pair / ace / gutshot and save yourself the pot when you're ahead
3) You will sometimes lose the same when you are behind, as two pair will often slow down after your three bet and check to you on the river, fearing a set.


Worst case, you lose two more big bets. Best case, you save yourself this big pot. Tough call, but I think there's enough doubt about the check-raisers hand that you should go ahead and invest the extra big bet. 3-bet the turn.

my 2 cents.
