Default Re: easy fold?

This is a situation that I have had trouble with, but I think that the correct play is to fold. By folding you still have 1200+ left and blinds are low. Everyone on forum says don't lose your stack with TPTK at the early levels. Villain could have anything here: set, 2 pair, small flush or a pair of kings... but why risk it here...

Yea, this would be a fold. These games have been crazy the last couple of days, and I could not help thinking it was a lot of people from the party skins trying to adjust to the Stars structure.

Yeah...I guess I posted this mainly to show how shocked I was...I almost felt, ummm raped. It really surprised me to see this level play at the 27s (not that it is ever "good" per se, but always very ABC at best).

I'm not sure what information you gain by leading into the PFR here; at these limits people will draw with "any" lone heart, or you'll get pushed off the best hand by something like AhTx.

Personally I check/call a reasonable bet from the PFR and shove it in on a blank turn. If the other two get frisky before it comes back to you, drop it.
