2/4 River play with bottom set and 4-straight board

deathpotato · #1 03-20-2005, 06:01 AM

UTG seems straightforward enough, if a little apt to draw without odds, button plays very strangely and is quite unpredictable.

Does anyone really think I'm good on the river more than 2/9 of the time? The possibility of having to pay one or two more bets on the river and the action of the other two players made me feel fairly good about this fold (relatively speaking). Does anyone call this?

I would bet the river. I can't see calling 2 cold in this spot however. This fold looks fine to me, but what do I know...

Yeah I think this is a good fold. Especially given your read of UTG.

Off to bed, UTG called and showed 75 to beat Button's K7, and I hurt my mouse.
Edit: not that I think I win this enough to call, it's just frustrating to watch it happen.

I still think folding is correct.
