EP2 bets, MP2 fold, LP2 calls......

Hmmm, I hate how this hand played out, I think I got too caught up in the excitement to realize that I should've folded to the 3 bet on the flop...

Comments??

Results in a few......

Yuck!

I know that hand all too well. It's probably a leak in my game, but I don't think I would have had the guts to lay this down. At the time of your lay down, there was good reason to fear at least one ace against you, but when the third ace hits the river, I start expecting to see your oponents to have 44 and TT. (I've noticed that pocket pairs seem to hit in groups)

I probably would have called kicking and screaming all the way to the ATM. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

I hope your courage paid off and the 4th ace was out there, would have really been punishing to find out that your boat would have been good. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Well....Drumroll please,

LP2 had TT for the boat, and EP2 turned over AQo for the big Quadzilla. Yeah, for a second there when that 3rd A hit the river, I was ready to curse myself out good... [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Hi Xpac,

This is close between folding and raising on the Flop, and it is really player dependent. Is he ignorant? Does he bet his Flush draws? Even into the pre-Flop raiser? What does he think of you? Does he think you're a tight raiser? Do you have that sort of image?

Lacking a read, I would probably fold this on the Flop. Even if he doesn't have the Ace, LP2 may. Once he 3-bets, it is an auto-fold.
