Massive Hero fold
I think I need my ass kicked by you guys. I'm getting a gajillion to one on this river with the nut straight. I'm also 99.99996% sure he was on a club draw, since my read is he likes to jam draws on the flop, and the turn action pretty much turned his hand face up IMO.
Still, despite all that, is this fold nevertheless unforgivable since it's an online 6max game?

Re: Massive Hero fold
I'm having a hard time coming up with another hand that he could have, but I'd still have a hard time folding this in this ginormous pot. I don't think you have to worry about button raising behind you, unless he's a moron.

Re: Massive Hero fold
noooo dont fold
|
Re: Massive Hero fold
don't fold! It's a 26BB pot and you have a very good hand. You don't think you are good here 4% of the time?
edit: well, obviously you don't think so, but... don't you think you can be wrong 4% of the time? |
Re: Massive Hero fold
I donīt like the flop cap. Assuming we have 0% FE and Button and SB will call the cap 100% of the time, we need about 10 outs to make this play slightly +EV(roughly calculated).
I also donīt fold the river - this is like "[censored] you! i call!" |
Re: Massive Hero fold
its fine.

Re: Massive Hero fold
Well yes, BB's play looks like pumping the pot with with a FD on the flop, then just calling with it on the turn when equity drops, and then leading the river to ensure it isn't checked through. I doubt you are ahead that 4% of the time.
BTN could have a set or twopair or the same straight as you do. I think the biggest reason for calling in the end is, at least for me personally, that I'd probably go on a monkey tilt if I folded the best hand on the river in a pot this big. It is only a 1 BB mistake that avoids a lot of bigger mistakes from tilting... And it is 6-max so give him the benefit of doubt. |
Re: Massive Hero fold
Folding here will get more observant opponents to start playing back at you more on the river, either and and out of position. This is awful.

Re: Massive Hero fold
dude in your example we have enough equity.

Re: Massive Hero fold
25% xerber. Not 33%
Pretty basic stuff |
Re: Massive Hero fold
Oh good lord I no way fold this. Is this a joke? Sets, Same straights. I'd call that for a quarter of the pot size.
Did you REALLY fold this?!?! How does the turn tell you he has a flush draw? Why cant he have QT? Edit: I misread the hand. Ok - nowhere near as bad as I first thought, but I still call. |
Re: Massive Hero fold
If you can say with 99% certainty that he has the flush then I guess its a fold, but if your say 96% sure then its a call.
I think in the long run without a definitive read (only bets with stone nuts that this is a call. If you get some other calls you actually need to be right less than 4% |
Re: Massive Hero fold
yeah u guys are right, donīt know what i was thinking
|
Re: Massive Hero fold
lol, no way I fold this.

Re: Massive Hero fold
Good fold. Hate the flop cap. Don't even love the flop raise.

Re: Massive Hero fold
I never ever fold this. It's a one BB mistake (not even that) and folding the best hand here is just a disaster.
Plus an observant opponents might make a similar play at you in the future which you don't want if you keep folding here. Furthermore I don't raise the flop. |

If you fold here everyone is just gonna assume you were FOS and if you make these big folds once every 20K hands, this situation isn't all that likely to come up again against players who witnessed this hand anyway. That said I don't fold here, but kudos to OP if he did and was right. |
Re: Massive Hero fold
Don't like the flop raise, the river fold has to be close getting these odds, but it's not a fold I'd make. I think BB will bluff the river [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] often enough to make this a call.

Re: Massive Hero fold
I cant see anybody outright bluffing into a 25BB pot into 2 people and thinking it will be profitable in the long run. Both players are almost never folding here...especially not enough to make the bluff +ev.

You could change the bluff part in your sentence and say "I cannot believe anybody would think [insert retarded play here] would be profitable" about a ton of plays made by bad players at every table I sit at. The thing here is that you have to be insanely sure he has the flush to make this a fold given the odds we're getting on a call. I don't think I've ever been this sure about an opponents play and there's pretty much always more than a 4% chance of someone making a weirdo play. That said I don't think this fold is anywhere near unforgivable. I just think it's close and that I'd call. |
Re: Massive Hero fold
Ok I guess I needed clarification of what you meant by bluffing.

Yeah, my bad.

[/ QUOTE ] i'm having a hard time figuring out which of our outs can be cleaned up. i guess AT and AQ might fold for 2 cold sometimes. or is this a straight value raise because you know the other two are never folding? |
Re: Massive Hero fold
spite call imo... or not .. whatver
agree that jamming flop is bad, 6 outs to the nuts, 2 tainted outs, and possible FH redraws do not give you an equity edge and you'll never get a free river card |
Re: Massive Hero fold
even i might call this
|
Re: Massive Hero fold
i call ... and not just because i dont think i have a fold button
what if he had a set... or a worse straight... or its a tie? plus you have showdown value with that str8 zomg plz call |
Re: Massive Hero fold
[ QUOTE ]
what if he had a set... or a worse straight... or its a tie? [/ QUOTE ] I'm not saying you're absolutely wrong, but just try a little hand reading. Put him on something, given that he jammed the flop and shut down completely on the turn. Then ask yourself if any player who is capable of playing the flop that way would play the turn that way with the hands you think I can beat or chop with. EDIT: I know I asked for the ass-kicking, but I'm just playing my own advocate in this post because while I like the posts which say "it's close, but I'd pay off," I don't like the posts which just say "ZOMG U have straight, call! He might have a set" because they do seem to uncover a lack of hand-reading skills. |

Re: Massive Hero fold
I think its an excellent fold, although probably not one that I'm personally cabable of making in such a big pot. I do believe it is the correct play given how the BB check/called 2 big bets on the turn after that flop action, when is that ever not a flush draw?
I think alot of people are forgetting that we dont close the action here, the button is still to act behind us and after the action he put in on the turn he may well raise. So for all the people who are saying that this is an easy call, what are you doing if say the button raises then the BB 3bets? are we folding then? Or are we just calling down blindly since we had the nuts on the turn? remember there are no prizes for 2nd place here.... |
