After a while of feeling like I simply have lost my touch (and a month and a half or so long break), I've decided to move down to $25NL and re-evaluate my game. Anyway, how's my play in this hand? That's probably the worst turn card possible. Just sat down at the table, no reads.

Yeah I agree, I think the turn is a definite fold. You could probably squeeze in more on the flop though. 7 or 7.25 will get called just as easily. Folding on the turn is completely fine though.

How often does BB fold to a blind-steal? If its &lt;60% fold preflop.

Otherwise, nice fold, reload, try again.

Good fold probably.

You really can't beat yourself up about this kind of thing; the turn brings probably the worst card possible out of the 47 that you might expect to see and I think you responded in the optimum way. This is good for you.

I wasn't (beating myself up). I've played enough hands so that something as trivial as this isn't going to put me on tilt /images/graemlins/smile.gif. I was just making sure this was a standard hand.

Folding QTo OTB after it's been folded around? I think that's too tight, even though QTo are arguably the worst broadway hole cards, they still have strength, and the buttom adds SIGNIFICANTLY to that strength.

Like I said, depends on the BB. If you have some FE its not a horrible hand to play in position. If BB is an R-Tard that will call with ATC, its not a good hand to get into a battle over against a moron. Your c-bet won't carry much weight, you'll have to hit to win, and god knows what he's holding.

Doesn't sound fun.
