How do I play this 52o?
Why do these hands always happen to me? This isn't a bad beat post, I want to know if good players lay this down.
Hero has 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in BB Reads: SB just sat down 1 hand ago. MP1 is a fish, other players seem solid/good. MP1 limps, MP2 limps, CO limps, SB completes, I check. Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] SB bets, I raise, MP1 calls, MP2 3 bets, CO folds, SB 4bets (cap), I call, all call. Turn: 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] SB checks, Hero bets, MP1 calls, MP2 raises, SB folds. Pot: 16 BB I feel I'm obviously beat. But, I have been wrong before. Throw it away or pay off a likely 2BB? |

MP2 could easily have top two. The pot's big enough to call down and I don't think it's close.
Just my opinion... |

OP,
call down. You have a straight. Everybody loses another bet on the river here if you're beat. |

Don't fold. Big pot, big hand, call down.

[/ QUOTE ] It's a vulnerable straight, plus there's an ace on the board. I'm likely to fastplay this hand, especially in games where people play any ace. Smoothcalling isn't horrible, though, depending on the table conditions. |

As much as you think you're beat and yearn to make a super laydown, you can't fold here. Sorry.

I would just call the flop. The pot is small. The board is rainbow. Keep everyone in.

fastplaying vunerable (small) straights since your subject to draws to larger straights can be good often, depending on your opponents hand ranges
