folds. not getting the odds to call and improve to a FH

You're getting 6:1 on your call, he needs 8:1. Do you think you could pick up 2 bets on the river when you fill up?

You have four clean outs to improve. The pot is laying you 5.75-1 and you're 42/4, or 10.5-1 to hit.

Sucks having to fold two pair here, but there are too many other factors that would have to come into play here to warrant calling here, and they're all absent.

How do you figure he's getting 8-1 to improve?

Never mind. I have trouble counting sometimes.

Thanks for the responses. I guess my main concern in this hand was how often do players try bluffs like this at the .5-1 level, since I don't have much experience playing at Party Poker (yet).

By the way, I did fold... I hated my pot odds and from my time at the table the CO didn't seem too tricky.
