A wrong fold ?
Pacific Poker FL 2$/4$ 10-handed
Folded to Hero in UTG+2 with 2d 2c who calls 2$, MP2 raises 4$, CO coldcalls 4$, BB calls 2$, Hero calls 2$. Flop: 3d Jd 4c BB checks, Hero checks, MP2 bets 2$, CO folds,BB folds, Hero folds. In the end I am heads up with the preflop raiser and with the last 1,9$ there is now 18,05$ in the pot. I was not mentally prepared for this situation, the session was approaching its end and I wanted to finish it as a winner ( I had a little profit.)The last fact should not influence my decision, but it may have done it. Was the pot so big that I should not follow my plan of folding if I did not flop three of a kind ? In the seconds that followed,I managed(I think now) to choose to the worst of the three alternatives that were available to me, I folded. I think that I should have raised and I can present calculations that strengthens this statement, I think. Even with a win rate of 4,2 BB/100 after 23K hands I am just a big fish that is eating smaller fish in the biggest aquarium on the internet, Pacific Poker, and still often not confident that I am making the right decisions. Comments ? |

Re: A wrong fold ?
i just played Pacific for the first time, and wow. Just wow. Anyway, I'd definately fold. You're out of position so I can't really think of anything clever to do, and even if you're not behind every card is a scare card.
That being siad, i have no idea what "1,9$" means. if it's $1.90 then i'd definately call. I'm not sure what flop he wouldn't bet with 1 BB left after a preflop raise and you can't be behind more than 90% of the time, especially on a mostly low flop. |

Re: A wrong fold ?
first i think it was a bad pre-flop call that being said if he if pushing his last $1.90 into a $18.05 pot i definately call..(the math suggests a $17 pot which doesnt really change anything) he could be pushing with Anything KQ, AQ, AK, any ace for that matter. you have two backdoor draws and possibly the best hand and u get two cards and a showdown on a 9.5:1 call. easy call for me. dont let your session numbers dictate your play.

Re: A wrong fold ?
No,no,no. He has enough money, and I explicitly wrote that he bet 2$. However, only 1,9 $ goes into the pot because the rake is 5%. If my English is so bad that it caused this misunderstanding, I am sorry for that.

Re: A wrong fold ?
Over here "," and "." have the exact opposit meaning in strings of numbers. eg: $2,000,000.50 is 2 million dollars and fifty cents. You're phrasing is fine, but it was obviouse that you were foreign and as such I wasn't sure if you were saying what you thought you were saying. My bad.
