Default Re: Is this a fold?

Even though he's a solid tag, I think his range is pretty wide here, at least wide enough to justify a call with 3-1 odds.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think there's a decent possibilty he has two diamonds + a pair here. He no longer has any kind of odds, pot or implied, with your 700 bet into the 710 pot on the turn where he has ~1100 left behind, and may want to get his now vulnerable flush draw + pair all-in while he still has a card to come.

Is it possible he has KQ? OESD on the flop, puts you on a Jack, maybe AJ, and then thinks he has the best hand on the turn?

KT is unlikely, as are other two-pair hands like JT... most solid tags aren't just check-calling on the flop in a 3-way hand with a JT2 board with a flush draw out there, right?

As was mentioned, he can have Q9 for a straight, and a set of tens or twos beats you of course. But even if he does have Q9, TT, 22, you still have 6 outs as was mentioned earlier.

I think with the odds given to you here you have to call, and getting stacked with Q9, TT, 22 or some combo of a flush draw and made hand hitting on the river is just the price of doing business.
