meh.

Check call. Really feels like you're beat here. I think the best you can hope for is KQ or a flush(but both seem rather unlikely).

[Hobbs.]

....puke and then check/call. Oh and fold preflop.

[James.]

can anyone give me one logical hand he would play this way? is he ever capping QJs PF versus a tight SB 3bettor? what the hell hand do i beat here that he would bet on the river when he knows i'm at least calling?

keep your little girl comments to yourself. if Harv can cap A8o out of the BB i can at least 3bet a PP out of the SB. you really think this is a c/c too, huh?

i don't know how often i would do it in this situation, but at a point in time i ran close to him statistically(i had about 1900 hands mined on villain)and so i put myself in his shoes: i thought about MY pf capping range in that spot, the board texture, my tight table image, the action that ensued on subsequent streets and i really saw no logical hand i could beat. i checked, he bet and i folded. i don't know if it was good or bad in the long run but he showed two red kings when i folded. it was a huge pot. for one bet HU i can't do that often, but the flow of the situation just took me there.

Then it was a good laydown. Just remember none of us are in the 'flow of the situation', we see a big pot and you having a hand that is a LITTLE too strong to fold. NH

this is a pretty clear fold imo

[Hobbs.]

james, dude has JTs often enough to c/c the river.

[tailspin4540]

Really? JTs is getting capped preflop ever?

James: Why 3-bet the turn?

because he has a flush and straight there never.
