Mandalay Bay 4-8: Folded 10 outer on the flop
This is at the Majorkong/Clarkmeister table. The blinds are $1-$2 and the bets are structured $4-$8.
Preflop: I am UTG and I raise to $6 with KQo. MP1 (who has been raising much PF, and has not shown down many hands) makes it $10. I am pretty sure he is clued in enough to put me on a good hand with an UTG raise, and this is his first 3-bet preflop (that I have noticed at least). Everyone else folds and I call. Flop: T 9 3 rainbow I check, he bets, I fold. (CM or MK, correct me if I described the $10 PFR wrong). |

That is a deceptive title. You folded a 4-outer on the flop. |

I see 10 outs (3Ks, 3Qs, 4Js)...well worth a call IMO. Who knows what his opponent is sitting on...maybe a quality pocket pair like AA/KK/QQ/JJ or AK/AQ/AJ/TT or some small pocket pair.
I think a bet on the flop is important here, if you are checking...plan on folding (as you did). If you bet and get raised...then you have a better idea where you stand. I just think you gave this hand up too easy, but I also think the KQo raise from UTG is overplayed. Wondering what others think about the KQo raise from UTG...especially considering the blind structure, as a steal doesn't have much value (not even 1SB) |

Re: Mandalay Bay 4-8: Folded 10 outer on the flop
I am using the term "out" to refer to a card that will give you the winning hand. Not just a card that will improve your hand.
It is likely that his actual outs are between 4 and 10. I think closer to 4. He is getting pot odds of of 9:1, so I think a call is order, but he might need to fold unless he makes the nuts. |

Actually it's only 7:1 or so with this structure...

Whoops! I divided by 3 instead of 4. Your good, Homer.
So its 7:1, do you think she should call? I think she did the right thing by folding. A Jack is the only clean out. |

tsk tsk...all this time and you don't know rharless is a 'she'?
I'd call and probably check-fold the turn and think, wow, I suck at poker. Crappy hand, out of position, sucks, move on. |

I raise it over half but not all of the time. In this structure I think it is even more important to raise it pf. Plus, I know with an UTG raise, I probably won't have to deal with kong or clarky playing against me. There's a LOT of value in that one. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |
