Laydown that I regret

[CardSharpCook]

This is from a Live Limit Tourney. $550 event 55 players at the bike.

My read on Seat 2 is that he is a fish. He bets when he has stuff, he calls when he shouldn't, he plays way too many hands, and he's not that hard to read. His read on me should be that I am a tight aggressive player. He has seen me play few hands, and play those hands aggressively or get out quick.

AK [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in MP. Folded to me, I raise, SB (seat 2) and BB both call.

Flop: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
SB bets, BB folds, I raise.

Turn: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
He checks, I check.

River: A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
He bets, I quickly raise, he just as quickly 3bets. I fold.

I'd never make this fold online, but given the read I had on him and his quick bet, I folded. I also thought, "he's got to know exactly what I have, he can't be thinking that I'd fold an ace here." But I did, and I regret it. Should I?

True, but few if any posters in MTT know dick about Limit. I'm the resident MTT Limit pro, which should tell you a little something about our dire needs.

MTT limit pro? Is that possible? There are hardly any Limit MTT's where I play.

Does anyone bet this turn given CSC's read on villian?

In a cash game, very few players bluff 3-bet, and bad player virtually never. You made an excellent fold of a good but probably 2nd best hand.

Now, this is a tournament, so there may be some different dynamics at play. Was he short-stacked and giving up? Even in a limit game, short-stacks sometimes just "rack off", tossing he last of their money in the pot in a spot they know is -EV, because they are annoyed they are losing and just don't care.

This is much more common on the early streets than the river though. I think your fold was the right move.

good luck.

No one will ever expect anyone to be capable of folding an A, let alone AK. The player you described is not capable of 3 betting less than trips, and your fold is completely fine.
