I hate two small pair
I'm not really sure what to think on this one. I bet fifth because I was looking for a freebie on sixth if I wanted one, but that didn't exactly happen. Is this fold alright or just plain bad?

Good. Pretty easy fold on sixth I think. I'm not sure I would have bet fifth, but I understand what you were thinking.

Re: I hate two small pair
Would you consider check-folding on 5th? You have basically no shot at the low, and you can easily be behind for the high.

Re: I hate two small pair
my thinking on fifth was that if I bet *maybe* I can get someone with just a a lone pair to fold since it appears as if I have a made low and that they are drawing to half of the pot. I was also hoping that it would give me a free card on sixth if I wanted one.

Re: I hate two small pair
You want to bet 5th because your hand is deceptive,& a bet may cause somebody to make a wrong decision.You want to get a weak low draw out.If seat 2 has 6,2 or 8,6 in the hole,for axample.you want him gone.Also,it gives seat 2 a chance to raise & get rid of seat 4,which would be great.

I play it the same. Nice hand. Bet on fifth really isn't close, in my opinion.

Re: I hate two small pair
Can someone please expand on why this is such and easy fold?
The raise from seat 2 could be because it was checked around and is taking a stab...or has a low draw along with his 10s??? Aces and 10s could be likely as well...which would suck... At any rate, I see that they both have quite a few redraws, even if we are ahead here...but neither seemed really proud of there hand at any point... I tend to call these situations like this down, unless I get sandwiched between raises... Before ya'll strart drooling and looking for me, I only play at the .50/1 tables... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] The difference between a .50/1 and a 10/20 game likely have my perspective all out of whack...I want to learn... |

Re: I hate two small pair
I agree that the 5th street bet isn't close, it's mandatory.
But I wonder about the fold on 6th. It really depends on what you figure seat two has. If you assume no one can make a low you're barely getting the right odds to see the river. If you think seat two has a made low (and the only starting hand I see him doing that with is (5h6h)Th if he's a reasonable player) then folding is right. Even if you figure one or both have a shot at a low you're right to fold. |
