Math question: folding an underfull

[Chaostracize]

Dear. God. Why would you EVER check call that turn???????

I think he probably has AK or KK, but I would call anyway.

This is what I felt and I was thinking why should I give this guy a payoff when I feel so strongly he has me beat? This guy had been showing down the goods when he played hands and so had I and his line spelled monster when I considred all the image factors and the board.

BUT- If I felt great about my play I'd never have posted the hand. I'm still wondering about the math if anyone has an answer.

i really hate how low limit players post their hands with 2 extra zeroes in front of everything.

My attempt at math: If I narrow him to only 1 hand that I beat and all other possible holdings that beat me discounting K8 and K2 there are

8 combinations of KQ
6 combinations of AK
1 comb. of KK
3 comb. of AA

so I beat 8, I lose to 10. Thus bad fold unless I am sure he has exactly one of the three combos that I lose to. While I still feel like he had a monster I can't discount KQ and if I did this math right the fold is stupid.

I was tired....

Blah, Blah, Blah.... None of this defends your turn play. If you felt that his play really demonstrated him slowplaying a monster then check calling the turn is even more ridiculous.

No one is going to get past your turn play. Not leading that turn and 3-betting all in is dumbfounding.

Shaun,

As swarm asks, given your read, why did you check-call the turn?

[hit_the_set]

[censored] the math. Shove it in on the turn

I'm not sure poker is the right card game for you. Maybe you should try and become a professional Old Maid player.
