fold, but i also usually check-fold that flop. it will hit too many people, plus your bet is weak.

I was hoping to represent AK. Maybe not so much, huh? [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Why do you think your 3(!) opponents would put you on AK when you smooth call a 2,5x EP raiser, letting so many people into the pot??

If you're representing TP, which is more likely how your opponents perceive your bet, your bet should be PS to deter draws - Yvesaint is right. BB's c/r says he beats TP and wants to build the pot.

So I got minraised on my semi-bluff steal. Does he have a hand? Is my 4.5:1 odds good enough to find out?

First of all - it's a complete bluff steal attempt.

Secondly, you have 4 outs (Hitting the ace will not be good enough here.) giving you 11:1 odds. Not even close.

Thirdly - and most importantly - you could hit your outs and still be 2nd best or only chop it!

So I put the question back to you: What do you think you should do?

Well, I should have folded. Or never been in the pot in the first place which is the RIGHT answer.

Only I didnt fold. I called. Which was loudly referred to as a donk play by the table.

I said the same thing using five times the words. I totaly agree.
