Um, well, I guess I'll say that it's party poker for one, and two, you made the right play, even if you feel that the table is extremely LAG.

So good fold. And sorry that some party fish made you fold the winning hand.

The bet to call was only 1.5bb, am I correct? I guess if that's the case I might rethink this statement and possibly reraise to get a feel for what they really have.

Actually, no. I would have needed to cap the flop and then call 1.5bb on the turn, so it's more like 3.5bb. I effectively would have had to go all in on this hand with an A on the board and two outs.

Td9d is not top pair, it's second pair.

If the players in this hand had been playing like this the whole time you were at the table, I'd re-raise the flop. There are only three aces left in the deck, and your opponents hold random cards. Statistically they're unlikely to have an ace.

Given their preflop behavior I cant see how this statement makes any sense. I might reraise anyway if im calling all the way down in my mind.

You're right. It was 4am when I posted this. Forgive me. I disagree with you though. With all of the preflop action, with reasonable players, one would assume that AK, AA, KK, AQ are all distinct possibilities. No freakin' way do you put somebody on T9s capping preflop.

LOL. Funny hand.

I think you might the right decision. With the heavy PF action, and action on the flop, an ace is likely.

Even if you do call the flop, you're calling turn and river bets as well.
