A Great Example of Not Folding In A Big Pot

[TheDelChop]

So this was the most difficult hand that I had to play the whole night. I would love to hear comments about my play on all streets after PF, which I think is extremly standard. With a price that is so good the whole way can I ever fold this one?

Preflop: Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises</font>, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls.

Flop: (13.50 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 3-bets</font>, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, Hero calls.

Man o man would I love to see the Q or 10 of diamonds on the turn....

Turn: (12.75 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, Hero calls.

Well now I'm getting 15-1 and can close the action so I can't fold here....


River: (16.75 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, Hero calls.

Now I only have to win this hand 1 out of 20 times. I feel like folding is a huge mistake.

Final Pot: 20.75 B

This can't be true.

Do some people actually fold this hand? I would've played it the same.

[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 ?

[Buckmulligan]

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

[HolyBejeesus]

I wouldn't fold this even if the pot were small.

So your saying this is an easy calldown then?

[pauliewalnuts]

Just because someone 3bet the flop doesnt mean you have to resign yourself to the fact that TPTK is no good.

I'd have capped the flop and led the turn.

[WillyTrailer]

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.
