Re: Following Instinct w/ Folds. Getting Advanced or Overzealous?
Hand 1: I'm pretty sure I fold the turn against two overcards. Spending two more BBs on a probable 5-outer just doesn't seem all that wise. Besides, villain will only have 8BBs and remain shortstacked. Given that he probably got stupid and lucky with a 4.5BB stack it's worth giving this one up and working to stack him off in a later hand.
Hand 2: Looks fine. I don't like having to call down here but I pay this one off, if only to find out more about this guy's cold-calling range.
Hand 3: Although it feels a bit feeble I don't donk the turn here, I just call down.
Hand 4: I play it exactly the same while muttering imprecations under my breath.
Hand 5: The river raise is terrible as you well know. The rest of the hand is fine.
