Default Re: With deep stacks, I always fold top pair!

[ QUOTE ]
Early in the Party 500k. I have no reads. All stacks are around 5000. UTG+1 opens to 170 (30/60), next to act calls, and I raise to 500 in middle position with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (Remember I have the king of clubs). Folds around to them they both call.

Flop: (1500 ish) A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Checks to me I bet 1000. UTG folds, next guy calls.

Turn (3500 ish) 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] , he checks, I check behind.

River (still 3500 ish) offsuit Q. He bets 2000. I fold.

My thoughts on the hand to come... In the mean time, discuss!

This is rigged, you have the A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in your hand and it's also on the board.

Also, your opponents bet on the river could be him realizing the only way he can win the hand is to bluff at it.

I would have bet the turn myself, and called a push on the turn as well.

Checking the turn, I'd call the river bet. There's 5,500 in the pot and it's 2K for you to call, seems like a worthwhile investment.

Not to mention this is early, and most of the donks out there accumulate chips because they push players like you out of pots like this.
