Re: Good Fold?
Looks good to me. You made a pot sized raise, and got two callers. You can probally figure one of them for an ace. I hate to let them go, but I think in this case you have to.
Did you have any reads on these two? |

Re: Good Fold?
My comments are very player and table dependent so please take them as nothing more then food for thought...
Obviously, you would want to change your play based on your opponents. I was at a table where I noted someone who raised mostly with pairs but didn't seem to be raising with AK/AQ. I noted that people's raises were high with PP then with AK. Also... many people will call with any ace, knowing that if someone raised with a PP and an ace hit, they would often check-it, and then it was theirs. But would fold to any strenght assuming the person then would have to have AK or AQ. In situations like this, I would raise with decent pocket pair. I would bet 2/3-the full pot if it flopped undercards OR if an ace hit. I've had people fold and say, "I hate my kicker". Also... I've called a raise with pocket 5s. The raise screamed pocket pair. I was really playing for a set. But when an ace flopped, they checked it to me... I made a small bet and they folded. My point? Depending on my read of the table, I definitely wouldn't have given up this hand here. A semi-bluff can work here depending on the caliber of your opponents. |
