Wow, that's a serious fold on the river. Tough play, I think it's probably right though.

I like letting people in on the flop. I wonder about the turn raise though. With so much aggression, is there a chance you might smooth call hoping to call/re-raise or call/cap? I know this is a risky move but it seems like this might be a chance for it.

Nice hand, tough spot to be in.

The fold is correct but honestly I'm not playing this from the BB after a raise...

I am just wondering why its correct to fold in this situation. Is it because you can be fairly sure your opponent is holding a higher straight or a house? Or am I completely off base.

arkady · #5 07-08-2004, 11:18 AM

if you think someone has a house in this hand, I would say you are seriously off base. Like way off.

But uhm yeah, them coming alive on the turn, especially the pre flop raiser - makes AQ a strong possibility.

I appreciate the advice.

PS-when can I expect to see you heads up with farha on espn 2?

arkady · #7 07-08-2004, 11:31 AM

Wow, i won't make any preconcieved notions of your ability -but with 3 posts and that idiotic remark, I would suggest thinking very carefully about each reply.

There can be no full houses on a pairless board.

thanks, as if if arkady didn't lambaste me enough for mistyping.
PPS Answer to my previous thread: Never

Oh, the answer to your previous thread would be.

I didnt know that discussing hands on a small stakes limit forum, carries with itself a requirement to face Farha on ESPN2. Unless you yourself are Chris Moneymaker, that is probably one of the more immature and silliest things I have heard. Try posting in the internet forum, they like your type there.
