Thoughts?

Im getting my ass handed to me at paradise right now. The players are horrible and it seems very natural for players to make straight flushes and four of a kind with any 2 cards. Cant wait to get my money out of there.

Edit: Got the hand.

We need to know the pot sizes at each street.

Without reads, I don't like this either.

Edit: Now that it is cleaned up and readable, I think it is a good fold.

I dont have reads.

5.5 BB on the turn, no? Hard to do but I would fold. You are almost for sure behind and drawing to only 4 outs, and you don't have the odds to go for it, unless you read both players to be maniacs.

If your 2 pair will lose 75% of the time here, you should still call. I suspect that you'll win more than 25% of the time. Even if the villain does have the flush, you still have four outs. But just because he raised here, I'm not giving him credit for the flush without a read... and since you just joined the table I'm guessing you don't have a read.

Raise him back. If he caps, call and then fold UI on the river. If he calls, check/call the river.

As already mentioned, don't post from MP1. Either wait for the BB or post in the CO if you must.

You're not getting correct pot odds to draw to a 4-outer vs. a made flush or straight on the turn, and both opponents have taken lines that would typically be used with either of those draws. I don't mind the fold. If it turns out you were best at the time, then make a note on your opponents and take your money back later.

Bad turn card, good fold. Getting an immediate 11.75:2 with a high probability, IMO, that it will be capped, and you're behind nearly 100% of the time here (be it a flush, 67, 98, whatever).

Hero has to put 2 BBs into an 11.75 BB pot, with the chance of a cap behind him. And there is not only the possibility of a flush, but also of a straight with QT/T7/67, or a better 2 pair or even a set. Hero's 4 outs do not offer nearly the correct odds to call 2 on the turn, and just because he has no reads on his opponents does not mean he should assume they are idiots. As the saying goes, one opponent might be bluffing, but two rarely are.

This is terrible advice. Capping the turn is spewing chips against all but the most retarded opponents. It's also impossible for Hero to check/call the river.

Good fold.
