So how is this, should i have folded this easily? no reads. These spots always give me trouble, with TPTK, do you mostly fold when coming up against any sort of agression?

All I can say is that when something like this happens the first thing I do is check to see if he was in the blind. It is somewhat doubtful someone will call that raise pre with a 3 in their hand but with the discount a lot of people come in with hands they should not while in the big blind.

if you cbet the flop, you don't lose as much money. i fold the turn, depending on the read. you really need a read here to call down.

Looks like he checked a boat.

Standard line to me would be c-betting the flop and folding to a raise.

Maulik · #9 12-24-2005, 02:22 PM

PF, I raise to $3.

Bet the flop $5 should take it down if they missed too.

Turn: Fold, someone has the 3x.

The river calls is good.
