I call the flop and fold the turn unimproved. So many wittle fishies will call raises with Ax I don't think it's worth calling the turn and river only to find yourself facing it.

Someone would have to be an idiot to bet out into a preflop raiser with only a Jack here.

Just my opinion.

The problem with this is that you are so unlikely to improve on the turn (2/47). I'd prefer a bet/fold to raise approach on the flop.

Agree. Bet this flop

Hack · #5 12-15-2004, 01:53 AM

I agree.

I think if he bets and he is raised that he should fold the flop though. To me that represents at least an Ace or even two pair.

These hands are always tough, given the tendency for opponents to play weak aces. I prefer trying to gauge where I'm at at the cheap level, though when your raise is called, the plot thickens.....

Bet that flop and fold to a raise. A raise from CO is probably a legit ace, or JJ. I doubt a hand like QQ or KQ would raise here. Normally I would call a raise and then check/fold the turn unimproved (seeing if he'll bet out the turn again), but this board is very uncoordinated, and CO 3-bet PF so his range of hands goes way down.

Fold because villain is playing the almighty 52o.

This is a hand from yesterday, just thought it would be funny to show here. It almost (and SHOULD HAVE) worked.
