Easy fold.
Villain plays 67% of his hands. He doesn't have to have a queen to bet here. Still, the pot is tiny and I don't have much. I fold this like every time, but sometimes wonder...

Re: Easy fold.
You should raise this preflop if you're playing it, imo. You would probably get checked to and bet this (it may also be HU). Against a guy playing 67% of his hands, KT is certainly worth a raise.
A fold isn't terrible, but you may want to sprinkle in some raises if he'll bet a hand you're ahead of. |

Re: Easy fold.
I certainly would open-raise this, but you're right--raising here isolates him, no? And then I assume if there are two limpers I'm back to limping.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah KTo is a decent hand to isolate with, and when he limps in 67% of the time you are usually ahead here. With 2 players it's more questionable, if they are both loose raising is probably better. Also if this player is particularly aggressive postflop I'm not folding here. |

Re: Easy fold.
Eh. The pot is small enough to just let it go. If you were to play on, I would advocate a raise, not a call, try to get BB outta there, then go from there. If 3bet, he very well may have a strong hand.

Re: Easy fold.
With one limper or less, I'd raise this hand from the BTN/CO and attempt to isolate the weak limper. Bet out the flop when it's checked to you.
The way you played it, I'd probably fold with the pot being so small. |

Pretty awful fold IMO. [/ QUOTE ] So should I call or raise, and why? |

[ QUOTE ] Pretty awful fold IMO. [/ QUOTE ] So should I call or raise, and why? [/ QUOTE ] It depends on the player you're up against, what he needs to bet here (some players will bet any two cards), and how he will respond to a raise. Against most fairly passive .5/1 players I'd raise the flop and bet the turn for a free showdown, but against a more aggressive player I might go with the call/call/call line. The reason this fold is really bad IMO is that you are just giving your lion's share of pot equity away too often (every time you have the best hand). That is going to cost you more, imo, than a couple of bets the times he happens to have a Q. |
