The player who raised the turn seems to be sane from the limited time I have played with him.

Thoughts?

looks like a good fold to me, especially considering the button cold-called 2 bets on the flop and then capped. He was trying to build a monster pot for a reason.

Is there a word for his action on the flop? maybee... "cold-capped"?

damn that sucks.

I thought for sure this was going to be a terrible fold when I saw the subject, but no.

wow i guess if there was ever a time to fold top set getting 20:1 to call, this would be it.

Easy fold. If I had posted this it would have been the worst fold in history.

arkady · #7 08-27-2005, 08:22 PM

cold capped...hehe ya, id say button flopped the flush.

but regardless, the fold is correct given the opposition is not entirely maniacal.

Gwtting 20-1 that the opponent is a retard I call.

Yeah, I can show hands against 2+2ers similiar in nature where it is totally correct to call. And this is in serious $15/30 games, not donking $4/8.

Bottom line:

Never fold the worst possible full house no matter how bad it looks after rmarrotti went 6 bets with you on the turn and you can beat non of his logical holdings.

There is at least a 5% chance in almost any given hand that you are playing a retard. Folding big pots sucks.

What do people think of capping the flop? You might scare a non-nut flush into not betting or raising again, and you certainly don't want this going to 3 bets on the turn.
