Default Answer me this... at 1/2 - 3/6 6-max...

You are a typical unknown at said limits, meaning you are the unknown we talk about facing. Button is playing the role of one of us.

You limp A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] UTG, MP folds, CO folds, and Button raises. Blinds fold.

All you know/care is that Button appears to be tight - he doesn't know that any two cards can win.

Flop is 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

You check. The tight guy on the button bets, of course. You call, of course - you have a pair.

Turn is the K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

How often do you check fold?

0-5%. 5% if villain showed down a full house the hand before with KQ. And he isnt making a mistake vs the standard TAG imo.

If I'm understanding this correctly, then we never fold here.

If I'm the guy who limped A7o UTG, I'm never folding here.

Button is obviously a good player who thiks you are a fish because you open limped.

There are really two types of fish here:

Fish A will check and hope that you check behind, then fold when you bet because its obvious that you have a Q or K. His mind does not work in terms of check/fold. It just checks, and then decides to fold on the spur of the moment.

Fish A probably folds the turn almost every time here. He'll only continue if you've pushed him off of several hands in a row lately and won without showing down.


Fish B won't bother to read your hand and would have shown down with ace high anyway. He hates to see a pot won uncontested.

Fish B probably calls to the river almost every time here. He'll only start folding after you show down winners several times in a row. Even then he'll have a hard time laying down top pair. If you show down winners that are less than top pair a few times (like 99 here), then he'll call you down even more tenaciously and probably start bluff raising to try to throw you off.

Close to never, and that is probably the "correct" play.
