Real easy fold no?

Re: $60 - yay I made a set, barf
 

meh.. calling 12BB and hoping one of 'em doesnt have the flush, 6, or T... I don't know. Doesnt seem like a great opportunity. You've only put like 160 in the pot.

If BB would be a complete donk (which I guess he is) I would be more inclined to call. If MP2 were a complete donk I'd be more inclined to call.
If MP2 is a good player, I'd definitely fold as I don't see him raising here with AJ and not raising the turn... He would have raised his 555 or 777 hand aswell. Really nothing you'd beat he would raise with on the river. ( he would call behind his lower set or 2pair hand, and hope to win the pot )

I like a fold.

Re: $60 - yay I made a set, barf
 

I don't think you are almost ever good here. I don't think it is a bad move by MP2 here on a bluff, because a lot of the time BB is tardbetting a bare spade or something just as silly. Problem is that your set is about as weak as a set gets.

Fold and sigh.

suzzer99: folds
*** SHOW DOWN ***
jasman09: shows [As 7d] (a pair of Sevens)
pajaro1605: shows [5h 7h] (two pair, Sevens and Fives)


I agree though I think folding was the right play.

Re: $60 - yay I made a set, barf
 

Trivially easy fold

Re: $60 - yay I made a set, barf
 

at what bet size do you fold on the flop?

Re: $60 - yay I made a set, barf
 

easy fold and it really wouldnt take much more for me to fold to a flop bet.

Re: $60 - yay I made a set, barf
 

thats what i was guna say. i wrote out a whole big thing about folding on the flop, then deleted.

it started something like this. i know youre getting 6-1 on 40 chips level one but.............

and i got to the end, reread it, said to myself, i fold flop. how much before suzzer folds flop.
