Fold city.

I hate this spot, and a fold might be correct here but it is too weak-tight for me. I am calling and if the turn is a brick and he bets out strongly again i am probably folding. If he checks though i would consider a 1/2 pot bet. I am folding/checking behind to any club on the turn.

I hate calling here. You have two options, either all the chips go in or you muck. Calling is not an option for me, I hate calling a raise just to see if my opponent will "slow down" on 4th street. I would fold here, I highly doubt he is raising OOP with 4 clubs, A-9 or 5-5 are his likely holdings.

I would disagree on the all-in. If you are an underdog (to AA, AK, A9, A5, 99, or 55, for example) you are getting all of your money in in a BAD position. If you are the favorite, what hands is he going to call with?

So, going all-in wins you the pot now only if you are already ahead, and puts all of your chips in jeopardy if you are behind.

I think it is close between calling and folding here. One of the previous posters mentioned calling and dumping the hand if the third club shows up, which I think makes some sense. Personally, I probably dump this hand.

I hate these positions, and they happen so often. Sometimes I'm tempted to screw AK's and AQ's, and just play sets all day. I fold. I think if it wuz a flush draw, the standard line would be a big raise to try and push out. I put him on a set.
