Are you folding a non A/K spade?

Hm, at 2/4 I only do this with a read. Usually I give up on the turn. Is an unknown at 5/10 going to raise the flop and bet the turn/river w/ a busted draw?

You can't fold the turn after picking up a gutshot. Combine that w/your over outs and I think your getting enough to call.

I toss this river. Its too likely that your behind. UTG limping eliminates the bigger aces like AK, AQ, AJ, AT most of the time. If he's limping here I put him on a smallish pp (<99), suted connectors, or some sort of a smaller ace. Its far too likely that he's hit his kicker to consider calling the river here.
