Do I pay them off or what?

Is it really that easy to fold this hand? Please note that I know nothing about my opponents.

Kuanti is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

Preflop: UTG limps, 5 folds, BB checks, Kuanti raises, UTG calls, BB calls.

Flop: 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
BB checks, UTG checks, Kuanti bets, BB calls, UTG calls.

Turn: K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
BB checks, UTG checks, Kuanti bets, BB calls, UTG calls.

River: 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
BB bets, UTG raises, Kuanti starts crying...

It sure looks like they hit trips, but do I fold without hesitation or do I pay to see their hands?

For those interested, here were their hands: (text written in white, drag over this area)

BB Qc8s
UTG 8c2d
Pretty bad beat, but I'll play with them any day of the week.

I think if you know 100% he has 888 then fold. Why give him more of your money?

However if you are unsure you have to call it down.

I wouldn't call this.

If possible, use the converter (bisonbison's converter: google it).

Other than just keeping track of the pot and number of players for lazy people like us, it also makes sure that the button acts before the BB, most of the time. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I tried using the converter, but without having the actual hand history from the site, the "How to" section at the converter's website doesn't say much.

I would have to call. Just to see what this guy is calling me down with.

You can see what Villains have here without having to put 2 BBs in yourself.

Kuanti · #8 03-06-2005, 05:39 PM

That's exactly what I did, I very reluctantly folded.

DavidC · #9 03-06-2005, 11:38 PM

It's 5:1 to you on the river, and you're facing a raise.

I'd be more inclined to call if there was 16 bb in the pot than 10.

however, You do have two pair...

I don't know, this is a tough one.

When you typed it out, though, there was something fishy with the PF action, just so you know.

Is this pacific?
