AKo - lots of action - did I fold too easily?

This hand just has me confused... with a bet and and a raise, I thought for sure someone had hit the 10 or a set and I felt behind... this is my first posted hand... so any comments are welcome.

you got 2 overcards, straight draw and backdoor flush draw on the flop and the pot is pretty big so I would have liked to c the turn [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think folding the flop is fine.

If the suits of your cards were reversed it would be a little closer and might swing it to a call.

I would probably call to see a turn.

I value your A and K outs to be worth about 3 total (1.5 for each), plus your runner runner 2nd nut flush at probabbly 1 out, and your straight at 1 out. That's 5 outs -- you need about 8:1 to call. Pot is 16.5:2, with the possibility that the players behind you might call -- I think you should see a turn and check/fold UI.

I'd fold the flop. Oddswise, it's a slim call even if you can guarantee that nobody will raise behind you. Add in the possibility that MP1 will 3-bet, and IMO it's a straightforward fold.

First of all, shouldn´t Hero bet the flop? This looks weak to me. Since you checked, I think this is a pretty clear fold.

@bsolute_luck · #7 04-10-2005, 06:40 PM

bet out the flop. if it's 3-bet back to you, safe fold since you're up against a set and pocket pairs that would dirty your AK if not eliminate them all together.

since it'll probably be at least raised once on the flop, i'd call and then check/fold the turn UI.

Not really... Two spades, straight draw very likely... he's not going to pick this pot up with a bet. If Hero wants to see the turn, fine, but he should do it as cheaply as possible.

I dont mind the fold, its 2 bets to you + the possibility it could be 3bet or capped. All u have is two overcards.

I think you played it just fine.
