Fold this boat?
Villain is unknown. This is probably completely standard but I second guess myself a lot.

Re: Fold this boat?
Bet the flop; there's only two aces in the deck that he could hold. You can probably pick it up.
As played you have to worry about a bigger pp or that ace. I think I'd do the same. |
Re: Fold this boat?
Why do you call on the turn and then fold the blank river?
I like a bet on the flop. As played fold is fine. |
Re: Fold this boat?
Yeah, I'd fold this. His preflop and river actions indicate strength. I think it is very possible that he has that ace, if not I think he would be worried if you're slowplaying it.

Re: Fold this boat?
As played, the fold is good. But mediumpimpin has a point: when you call the turn, what card are you looking for on the river? Without a read on the Villain, it's really hard to do anything but fold here.

Re: Fold this boat?
the reraise tells me he probably has you beat PF (and if he didn't with a hand like AK, he just smoked you on the flop.) Find a better spot and just let it go on the turn, as played. I agree a donk-lead is the best line on the flop. If he doesn't have an ace you can put him in a corner

Re: Fold this boat?
I'd bet the flop as a bluff, then c/f
as played I'd do the same |
Re: Fold this boat?
My plan on the turn was to call a reasonable size bet on the river or check behind if he slowed down. But the psb looks like huge strength to me.

On the turn, it was a standard bet that could mean a lot of things, but at that point it is fine to think we are likely ahead. On the river, no matter how blank a card it is, villain is telling us, Okay, my hand is definitely better than yours, and I trust you will pay me off with the action in this hand. You don't call just because it's a blank; villain's range now likely has us beat. I am inclined to believe him and fold. Bet the flop here though, pleeeeease. |
