Was I correct to fold Quads?

[lu_hawk]

i'll usually call the 3-bet back to me with a pocket pair in this situation. if you think mp1 will also call then it is a pretty easy call. if you think he will fold then it is marginal but you figure to pick up a lot of bets when you hit.

to answer your question in the subject line, no it is never correct to fold quads.

This is a common situation. It really depends on MP1 and MP2. If they are TAGs and won't cold call 2 bets. However, if they will call, its about an even money call. You would be getting 6-1 on your call, and with the impied odds even higher. I would be more comfortable with a hand like 66 or 77 though. I've been out set-ed a few times with 22, in big pots.

Exactly. This is a bizarre thought process.

You didn't fold quads, you folded a pair of 2s. Every so often when you fold 32o the flop will be 333....

This is an easy call. Controversial yes, but I'd make it every time. Also the preflop keeps coming up but you really should be able to play all PP profitably UTG at low limits is the consensus the board reached.

this looks like a call to me, yet everyone has said fold. the raisers look pretty loose, so that final pot seems like an 'average' final pot.

hindsight:
32 SB's in the final pot.. Hero has to put in 2 SB's preflop to hit his set.. 16:1.. if its capped.. maybe 36:3 or 12:1..

that looks like a huge overlay for hitting a set and losing..

there was a similar PF hand recently by sfer. he had to call 2.5 SB's from the SB though.

Nice analysis btspider. I'm not sure why so many people think my fold was obviously correct if I was getting 16:1 (or 12:1).

And when I say I folded Quads I know it was only a pair at the time people, you all take it so literally. Next time I'll say "Should I have folded 22 for 2 bets preflop aiming to hit a set?"

I can't see you moving up to 15/30 anytime soon from your current 5/10.

Hi people,

I don't have an opinion on the first preflop limp. I generally don't, but whatever, if game conditions were right, blah, blah, blah.

Calling when it comes back is automatic though.

first of all you didn't fold quads. you folded 22. you'd only have quads if you saw it to the point postflop where you had quads.

that said, dont post results orientated hands. it affects your thinking in analyzing your hands. the hand history should have ended at the point you folded preflop.

that said, this is a terrible fold. you have more than enough in implied odds to call.

Easy, easy fold preflop...the first time around. Folding when it comes back to you 3-bet is even easier.

WRONG.
