folding top pair

[jt1]

Villian is a liberal flop peeler and a calling station. He called down with middle pair once. Another time he caught a flush draw on the turn and only called and after completing it on the river, he checked raised.

I call down. He might have a lower ace, and think it is good. You are also getting 7:2 on your call down, and may have some hidden outs against an array of two pairs he could have.

wow, that is one horrible laydown.

[axioma]

this seems like a very obvious call down.

That sucks. I like the hidden outs point. A lower Ace, i thought, would either 1) raise preflop or 2) be intimidated by my pre-flop raise. I thought it unlikely that neither case would apply.

One point. just now, I raised preflop with A9s in the bb against a button limper. An ace floped and the button raised me. I checked raised the turn and he folded. <u>Perhaps some players think that only a pp would raise in the bb and therefore raise when an ace flops.</u>

This guy however seemed pretty passive. Like I mentioned before, he just called down middle pair previously. There was no flop check raise or anything like that. Another time he had the option of check raising a draw on the turn and chose to just call. And he wasn't winning more than his share of hands at the table. I didn't think him a likely candidate to be bluffing.

as a general rule, ppl do some fvcked up stuff u wouldnt expect in blind battles.
once u hit that ace, u need to show this A7 down. call the CR and call a river bet. raise the river if u hit a 7.

And if an ace hits on the river?

I don't like this fold. You have a pretty stong hand that deserves a showdown. I would just call down.

[flawless_victory]

i call.

If you think this is noteworthy you haven't played much SH poker.

BTW I'll agree with everyone else that your fold is no good. You def need to call down.
