Default !$#%^# annoying river decision

what do you do against two unknowns in the Party 5/10 game? Is this an easier fold than I think it is?

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (3 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls, SB calls.

Turn: (3 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG checks.

River: (3 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises</font>, Hero ...

Final Pot: 7 BB

I think you might have the best hand.

UTG does not need to have anything. The bet on the river means nothing. The avarage player would call with "plenty" of hands on the flop.

SB might have something, but he might also just be trying to increase his share of a probable split pot. (Since the pot is so small I don't think that would be a good play by him).

I don't think you have the best hand often enough to win. 2:7=1:3.5=22%. But I'm not sure. Uncommon and awkward hand.

I think it's fairly easy on a double-paired board and not closing the action. It very well might get capped back to you.

What makes it a really easy fold is the pot size.

I think you made the right decision by folding.


Head's up, I may call, but you've got two others who are interested in this smallish pot. It's not worth the rougly 7:2 money you're going to have to put in (even worse if it gets raised again behind you).

By the looks of UTG's raise, you're probably beaten by a Queen, Ten, or at least a higher flush.


Question: why didn't you bet the river initially?

Yea, I basically said to hell with it when I thought about the pot size.

Why didn't I bet out on the river? I thought there was a decent chance one or both of them was holding a T or a Q. I didn't want to get raised...I thought I would call one bet, in case someone was betting their A for value or just bluffing, but then it came two back to me.
