First hand, no reads.

Preflop: Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $0.50.
UTG calls, 2 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, Hero (poster) checks, Button calls, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (7 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (7 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG bets, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, Hero folds.

I'm getting odds for a gutshot, if I didn't discount them because of the flush potential. I could also split the pot with another king as well. Good fold? I found that some of my weaknesses were calling on the flop without proper odds and without discounting appropriately, so I'm making a conscious effort to notice these plays and really think them through.

Super-easy fold.

you have to fold, your gutshot isn't that good considering it could complete a flush. Pot is small as well.

crap guys. maybe i'm wrong, but i call this.
why do we think someone has a king again? or a flush draw for that matter? do we think SB or BB is checkraising??

i understand that it's good to discount outs and all that, but we're talking about one small bet here people. and the pot is getting bigger...

10-1? Sweet Jesus, call that thing.

Looks standard.

You have to discount your outs for the gutshot somewhat. ALso the possibility of a chop pot and you're probably not going to win by speaking either a K or 5.

I'd call it too. After discounting the king outs for a split/flush, we're still getting implied odds with our excellent relative position. If this is a fold, it's certainly not an easy one.
