I'm paranoid that I'm folding too much

[Point Blank]

even though MP2 is a poster there are a lot of hands that can be calling that flop ...

since the pot is small check folding isn't bad ... but leading out is also pretty much close to standard

[00Snitch]

I bet/fold and get paranoind that I am folding to much but use the small pot to make me feel better.

This is between c/f and b/f for me, I usually b/f here but I think I should c/f more in a pot this tiny.

c/c sucks hard without a good read imho, and b/f ... meh pot is tiny, villain can have a lot of hands but basicly every hand he called the flop with he's gonna call the turn and then are what you gonna do when any non AK river hits? b/f again? c/c?


With 1.5-2 more BB in the pot and it becomes more interesting imho

I normally go like this:

bet/call the flop
bet/fold the turn
check/call the river if a non-draw card comes in.

Yes. I'm a fish.

However, it is important that you never, ever lead this river UI. If you bet the turn and get called, there is no point at all in betting the river UI. You will never, ever get called by a worse hand. At least if you check/call, occasionally you will catch a worse hand.

Determining (through reads/stats/tells) weather or not you will catch a worse hand the required (in this case) 15% of the time, will go a long way to making you a winning or losing player IMO.

I would like to add:

My last point could be wrong. The fact that this pot will always be quite small could infact indicate that check-calling this river will at worst be a small mistake. However, I do feel that this situation comes up frequently, so I could be right.

Wow, I ramble a lot.

That's because this is a really marginal, heavily read-dependent situation. In 6max, stuff like this comes up all the time, and you really have to know if your opponent is the type of guy to call the flop and turn with A-hi or not to be sure of your play.
