When do you fold this? 78hh @ $100nl
was playing on a friend's comp so no HH.
120 BB's deep at $100nl 6max. i open 78hh UTG for 3.5 X BB. called by CO. 742r flop. i lead for $4.5 into the $8.5 pot. he min raises. i call. 10 on the turn. i check. he fires PSB. i fold. i feel like i leak a lot of money with these hands and in pots where i flop TPBK and face action. fold pre is my default when multitabling but i wasn't at the time. |

Why the small flop bet? I know styles differ, but I always bet bigger in spots like these.
I'd call the min-raise (to spike 2pair + trips + hope he checks behind) and fold the turn as well, can't really see him doing this w/ anything you're ahead of. Just because you open lightly doesn't mean you have to felt every time you flop a pair, that's what differentiates us from the pure maniacs [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

yeah i'd actually rather flop a FD or OESD than top pair with this hand.
what about 3-betting the flop? and shutting down to further action? as for reading villain hand.. 44 or 22 maybe.. 56s.. not that it matters much here as i can't beat much. guess fold preflop is the best solution.. and c-bet $7 rather than $4.5 |

Not trying to be an ass here. There's nothing wrong with playing nitty until you get a feel for how to play marginal spots -- because most of the situations you get into w/ 87s UTG are gonna be marginal. That's how we all started out. 3-betting the flop is awful without a very good read, he's either gonna push on you or call and leave you in a terrible spot on the turn in a pot that's gotten way out of hand. |

[/ QUOTE ] no ty i know what you mean and appreciate any reasonable comments. my usual game is 6+ tabling 6max so i am usually folding this. here.. i was 2 tabling and kinda bored. bad excuse... my my main point was what to to once i got myself into this situation rather than what to do with 78hh pf. |
