Default Re: Folding the nuts?

0n the plus side, you don't have to worry about getting free-rolled in a big side-pot since BB and SB have equivalent stacks. Also, it's highly unlikely that anyone could draw to a higher straight that beats you.

On the minus side, one of them probably has the nuts and it's not too likely that neither has a flush draw. Even if not, someone probably has a set or 2-pair + nut straight.

However, you have a heart and a pair, so you have a few blockers. Also, if someone has a 46 + 2 hearts, there's a good chance they're holding the 4h and/or 6h, so the remaining fours and sixes are less likely to be hearts.

It's not a great situation, but not nearly as bad as it could be (after all, you do have re-draws). The chances that someone could be doing something stupid at these stakes makes this a call, but I can't say I'd be all that happy about it - there's a good chance you're drawing to a split.

It's probably a fold if both opponents are nut-peddlerish.
