Bad fold w/flush draw and TP on turn? - Page 2

If you think the CO has a boat, you need to check the action on the flop again.

It much more likely he only has a 5.

Your fold was bad.

What would you do on the turn in this situation? After showing strength by check raising, and leading on the turn when the board paired, I was raised and reraised and called in another spot. I figured I was drawing dead to a full house , or at least the nut flush draw. Is the pot too big to fold here?

First, you need to bet this flop. Yes, MP1 is gonna raise it, but that's OK. The pot is big enough where you don't mind CO and button getting lost.

What the hell does CO have here? IMO no matter what he has he is playing like a total donk (I hope that means dumdum. I am trying some of the cool 2+2 lingo [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].) Could he really have 33? Or 55? Or QQ? Or A5o? My guess is A5o with the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

You could be drawing dead to MP1's QQ, but that is unlikely. It smells more like AQ or AA-KK to me.
CO has A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5.
Button is dead money.
I think you call and pull out the rosary beads. But maybe I'm nuts.

I don't think you have enough of an equity edge against the field to 3-bet this out of position. KQ could easily be dominated by the PFR or any cold-callers. From the button, I may 3-bet, but from the blinds, I call.

Agreed - I think being able to 3-bet PF makes the hand much easier from that point forward but, it's not the best play when you're going to be first-to-act for the rest of the hand.

With three people in between you and the PF raiser I think you have to lead this flop. If the button was the PF raiser you could check it to him to face the entire rest of the field with two-cold but having MP1, CO and the Button already involved when you raise makes it pretty appetizing for the rest of the field to call 2-cold with all sorts of crap!

Have to cap the turn here. I think the five is much more likely to conterfeit some joker's Q3 that to hurt you with a set. You also have 2 outs to the big-boat and 9 left to the second nut-flush. A cap will tell you where you're at if you don't improve on the river. Better hands may even check behind on the UI river giving you a free showdown with a second best hand. Either way not getting this to showdown is a big mistake in a pot this size.

No you're not going to win every time - but the size of the pot when you win one more than makes up for the losses.

That's funny [censored]..... I first saw the term "donk" on here today... have I been missing something???

QTip · #16 02-28-2005, 05:26 PM

...yeah...me too...I read it and felt like donk because I didn't know what it meant. Sounds like some cheesy UK term like "bloat"...

Thanks for all the comments and advise. It certainly looks likd a bad fold. I also agree that I should have led out on the flop as a better way to knock out some players.

TMFS9 · #18 02-28-2005, 06:52 PM

Knocking players out is the goal of leading out. The goal is to get as much money in the pot as possible because you have such a strong hand. Also any players that you do knock out generally didn't pose much of a problem for you except possibly a Ax or a lone A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

I did completely miss that I had the 2 Q outs for the better boat.

hiflyer51 · #20 02-28-2005, 10:05 PM

There was no doubt(in my mind at the time) that a 5 was out for trips, what threw me off was the reraise and the cold call after that. I was thinking possibly 33 and the maybe the nut flush draw. I didnt think at the time that both 5's could be out and 2 people having trips.
