Turn: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

<font color="red">BB bets</font>, <font color="red">MP raises</font>, Hero...

Well, I think Hero has to fold. He will not win this hand often.
But still he knows that occationally he is folding the best hand and occationally he is folding what would become the best hand. So folding sucks.

As it turns out BB held [K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]] and MP held [K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]].
Hero folded the best hand.

What do you think about MP:s raise?

Presonally I think it was bad.

And I think there is a lesson I can learn from this hand. I don't know excactly what it is and I'd appreciate your help. I'd think it is something along the lines of: "If there are players between you and the bettor who might push you out of a winning hand unless you show strenght, then that is a strong reson for you to show strength". Generally speaking this occurs more the more aggressive the players between you and the bettor are.

If you can describe the lesson I need to ask more accuratly or compleatly, then feel free to write your suggestion or add lines to the above lesson.


Thank you guys for helping me with this hand.
I really appreciate it and I hope you found it interesting as well!
