A Great Example of Not Folding In A Big Pot

[kaidoy]

I think I'd play it the same... sometimes... because..
I might raise the turn or cap the flop; of which I'd probably prefer raising the turn and folding to a 3 bet.... and checking behind on the river...
would that be a good way to gain more from the drawing hands or am I making some kind of mistake with that line of play ?

I think we have too much equity on the flop not to cap.

Buy Small Stakes Hold Em, and do a search of these forums. Check out the micro limits too, a little more orientated towards these ideas.

Already ordered small stakes hold 'em two days ago... It will probably be delivered after the weekend along with

- 7 card stud for advanced players
- tournament poker for advanced players
- the theory of poker
- the psychology of poker

hopefully these books will make me a better all around poker player... I kinda like learned the game myself with the help of some sites at the beginning, then I ordered hold 'em for advanced players, but I'm still playing small stakes hold 'em,

any other books you could recommend ?

folding to a three bet is a bad idea and thus, so is raising the turn. you've got 3 outs to the nuts as it is and you're getting 15-1 plus a chance that you're hand is good or you'll improve to two pair that will be good.

not the place to raise for a free showdown because you surely can't fold if you're three-bet.
