Default FPS??

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls.

Flop: (7 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, Hero calls.

Turn: (4.50 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>

FPS or is it okay. I figured he had an ace which made it likely enough for him not to have the flush that I could bluff at it. Villian is 49/3/.9/44 over 409 hands.

I don't know why I just called preflop. So don't ask.

why did you just call preflop? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

i think it's a good play. if villian doesn't have a spade he will have a hard time continuing, i think it will work enough to be profitable.

This makes it very unlikely that he will fold an ace in this spot.
Actually I usually fold this on the flop...

Is the 44 WSD? I would think that someone who plays half their hands and takes 44 percent of those to showdown calls down with an Ace here.

That's a PFR of 3%?

Fold the flop.

You have to take it in context. Anyone who plays the top 18% of their hands shorthanded will take a lot to showdown. I don't think this number is unusual at all.

I dont quite get this statement, but im slow today.

Im going with the whole "he goes to showdown 44% of the time, he isnt folding an ace prolly" side of the argument

Can you explain this more?
I was saying that high VPIP along with fairly high WSD means takes a lot of marginal hands to showdown.

Sorry guys, I had the wrong read in mind. Doesn't look like I picked a very good spot.
