Fold AA on the flop?

scooby · #1 10-11-2004, 10:43 PM

I'm playing live 10/20. TA open raises UTG +1. Unknown 3bets. I cap in the CO with AA. BB, who is friends with TA, asks if the cap is 4 or 5 and the calls 3 cold. Jeez.

Flop comes down JQKr.
BB bets out, TA raises, unknown 3bets, I fold?

I figure I have 6 outs, but there are redraws to the 4 ten outs. That's 6 outs when there are 8 big bets and it's 1.5 to me, and I'm not closing the action. Thoughts? Good laydown of something that will cost me many bets, or should I go out and buy a skirt? None of the players had previously gotten out of line...

Hi scooby,

If you're up against a set, it's an easy fold. You can't know for sure, but all signs point to you're being way behind here. Good fold.

Good luck.

Dump it. That's a nasty board and you're behind with no clean outs to 100% of the pot.

Painfully it seems to be a clear fold. If your read on them is correct, then fold is the clear play. Calling here could possibly lead to having to call multiple big bets cold on a later street as well. Unless the three of them are partners giving you the bank shot, your chances at this pot are slim and none. Your only options are:

1) Pull out a machine gun and kill the three of them
2) Muck your hand into the dealer's ear, then wipe away your tears.

Keep on truckin'!!!

hi scooby

you can fold in this spot without incurring the cost of a new a skirt, or hiking the hemline of the current stylish fashion you're wearing this season; don't shave either scoob. keep as much of that leg hair for this upcoming winter as you see fit to sport. this fold won't nair you any. shoot, i like the fold. it's cute.

Fold. One player has at least a set. Another maybe Ace King, and very likely pocket 10's out as well so you are drawing too slim and mostly will cost you 5 Big bets by the river to see if your aces are any good.
