A2s in BB on ace high flop vs. large field... can I fold?

[A_C_Slater]

In this hand the SB is a young attractive girl in the early stages of pregnancy. She likes to check/call, in one hand she had KK (no raise preflop on button) and she check calls to river, the scariest thing on board was the turn putting a pair of tens out there.

She only seems to bet out with strong holdings, but she also appears to be playing every hand. I am in the BB.

SB bets, hero.....?


I have top pair with worst kicker and a total lack of redraws. Everyone behind me is a world champion calling station.

Nice read...good fold.

[A_C_Slater]

I never said I folded.

Fold. No question.

Why raise and not knock anyone out and pay two bets to draw to two pair when any diamond will probably sink you. It's so easy to lose this if you are ahead now or even if you catch a two to take the lead on the turn. Too many cards can fall to counterfeit you two pair.

[A_C_Slater]

Yeah. I knew I overplayed this one.

SB checks, hero....?


After I foolishly raise the flop and fail to reduce the field I am faced with another tough decision. The pot is now big and I still have top pair. Bet to protect a possible best hand (however slight) or should I check/fold?

I just assumed you would have since you had such a good read on the situation and opponents. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

My first instict was to fold, but then I imagined all the 2+2er's calling me a weak tight pussy. "You have top friggin pair, raise!" I guess it wasn't weak tight to fold here afterall.
