Default my aces vs his. Do you stick around past 5th

I'm almost positive that villian didn't have two pair on 5th street. I figured I had 3 dueces to make the straight and pairing any of my cards would probably win it for me so I stuck around even though he has the better hand (jack kicker). Was I right to call it to the river then fold?

Your fold is, of course, correct, as you cannot beat his board, but, I too would've stuck around to the river. I'd check-call if i'd made two pair and expect to lose anyway, as your second pair is probably beaten givin your low cards. On sixth, you do also have a double-gutshot draw, which is worth calling given the pot sizs weather or not you thought aces up would be good.

i agree. i would have seen the river and hoped to pair another card...seems often enough that players get a big pair and nothing else...plus your pot odds were reasonable enough to make a call with yr pair of aces. worst case scenario you lose two more bets and get a glance and what you were up against and how the opponent played em.

well you wont necessarily get that glance. you can't call 7th if you don't pair up.

So worst case scenario is you only lose one bet? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

On 5th, I'd give him credit for two pair. At that point I'd assume that if I hit 2 pair my second pair would NOT beat his. As you say, that leaves you drawing for 3 2s, which is a little thin for the pot size. I think it is correct to fold, but probably wouldn't.

The problem here is the redonkulous over ante. If our here gets a 2 pair he must call, even if he thinks his 2 pair is beaten.

Too many people in this game will play ANY Ace. so you can't automatically assume your opponent has 2 higher pair.

I wouldn't necessacarily give him credit for two pair n fifth- it looks loke he was playing high cards, and almost everyone will bet with just an open pair of aces. fifth is a call, imo, and on sixth, he has a double-gutshot draw as well as the pair of aces- that's what i'd be trying to hit, but i'd probably call the river if i made two pair, too- that ante...
