AQ, can I fold this?

CopTHIS · #1 08-19-2006, 04:11 PM

MP is something like 20/10 and hasn't done anything odd, in fact looks tight (the short BB is a typical short stack). I could be drawing pretty thin but have decent odds - can I let this go?

how can you call this?

Easy fold I think. I would just call the flop bet.

1) RR preflop.
2) I think fold is good.

hahahahaha, the real question is, do you have the second or third best hand?

It's OK to call or RR pre-flop there.

I think i'd just call the flop bet and use our position to play a smallish pot here. what pays us off- AJ? We're behind AA,KK,QQ,JJ and split w/ AQ and will get no action (call of our raise) with AK

Yes I think calling is OK in this spot for sure. I wouldn't always raise here but if I do and they fold I don't feel too bad about not extracting more with that many in the pot. The small bet by the initial raiser kinda looks like a set or not much so I thought I'd raise rather than face a decision on the turn. As it happens he just had a draw and I got pushed off [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Well I'd glad that everyone else would have folded. I did fold and the BB had Q4 and the MP had KT (sigh) so I would have won a big pot [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] It seemed an obvious fold at the time, but given the odds I did wonder afterwards...
