Standard Fold RIght?

[kyleb]

A fold seems fine here if you don't want to play TPTK with barely any redraws to a hand that is beating you.

What I am not getting here is why does everyone think he is behind? Havent all of us hammered the pot when a very unremarkable flop comes and someone takes a half-assed swing at it? I'd do it with A9... just to see what happened.

I agree. Here, I put BB on a flush draw and UTG+1 on top pair medium kicker.

In a limped pot with no stated reads, I think this is optimistic/foolish. I fold here even though I may be ahead because If Im behind, Im in big trouble and calling or raising means having to play a big pot with a single pair hand that I have reason to believe is no good.

I don't think he's necessarily behind, but he's facing a bet + raise in this position. I don't like where he's at. I hate the phrase "you can find better spots," but this is a spot that I don't personally like being in. As I said, it depends if you don't mind playing TPTK facing a bet and a raise. I personally do not in this situation.

I see what you are saying. Ive always been in the mind that a minraise from a limper is just a swipe at a board, usually meaning low pair or TPNK. I didnt really count that as a bet.

LOL, good point, I missed that one.

from MP3, I usually raise pf w/ AJ - perhaps it would have helped you play your hand a bit easier, with two callers, I make it $6 to go.

But as played, I think a fold is good
