Default To Wynn half a pot--is it worth it?

15-30 at Wynn's. Mix good of and bad. I have A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in the small blind. All fold to fat MP who raises. Folded to button who calls and I call. BB folds.

Flop is:

A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

I check (?), fat man bets, button and I both call. Turn is:

[A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]] J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

I check, fat man checks, and button bets. I fold. Comments?

It seems a huge number of your posts come from situations where you have ace-gay in the sb. Maybe you should just fold it preflop and not put yourself in these tough positions that you have trouble with. . . .

Is it new poker lingo to call weak bluff bets gay-bets and to call ace-rag, ace-gay? I wouldn't want to miss out on the use of cool new names for stuff.

It is clear that u only posted this hand because u came up with a clever post title. Anyone who hasnt realized this is clearly off their reads today. I personally think that using the word gay when describing a poker play or hand is pretty dumb, but if anything deserves to be labeled gay it is this post title.

nah, ace-gay has been around since the turn of the century, and it's not cool. What is now cool is saying "pwn3d." Use that as much as you can if you want to be cool. . .

Not really true--the hand was the post. The title is a secondary consideration.

What is ace-gay anyway?

i think you can fold this preflop unless you're about 80% sure the bb will come along for the ride.

what is your plan if MP bets this turn and button calls? if button folds?

whats your river plan if mp and button both check?

did you consider leading or c/ring this flop?

Default results

River was K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Checked around. The fatman had K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 10[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and the button had A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

So I would have chopped. I really think I should have bet the flop. That way I have a better read and I might get the button to fold (perhaps on the turn). My turn fold was based on: it's a split at best, and I might be outkicked or be shown a jack (not to mention the flush-gutshot draw).
