simple situation, yet I am unsure.

[Octopus]

Crypto 2/4 5 handed. I am working on my SH game, but have been running quite bad lately, so I am questioning things.

Villain here is somewhat loose aggressive pre-flop (about 36/16). I have seen him 3-bet in the SB with QJs, but call in the same situation with Q7s. Post flop he is very aggressive with stuff like middle pair, but I have never seen a semi-bluff from him. To be fair, I have not seen that many hands of his period, so maybe it has just not come up. I have seen him check an OESD on the turn heads up after it had been checked through on the flop. I have also seen him c/r the flop, get 3-bet and then fold the turn. OK, on to the hand.

Villain limps in the CO and I raise in the SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. BB folds and he calls. Two to the flop for 5SB.

Flop is 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. I bet and he calls.

Turn is 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. I bet and he raises. I fold.

Nice hand, there aren't many, if any, other ways to play it better.

The read makes it an easy fold.

I think I play it the same.

fine

very easy fold.

when you're running bad [censored] like this happens ALL THE TIME. when I start missing with my overs out of position over and over again I will often switch tables because I start being suspicious that people are taking shots at me but if you call this down you are going to see a monster hand more often than not.

FYI calling this down is a very very easy thing to do in SH play in my opinion, it's almost always terrible.

This was my thinking, but it is very nice to have it confirmed. Thank you all. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'd fold too. Your six outs aren't to the nuts by any stretch.

I'll let you have the King of clubs rather than the ace as it changes things a bit IMO [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
