Turn: 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (5.5BB, 4 players)
<font color="#cc0000">BB bets</font>, UTG calls, Makonnen calls, Button calls.

BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">UTG bets</font>, Makonnen calls, Button folds, BB calls.

Results:
Final pot: 12.5BB
<font color="#ffffff">UTG shows As 6s 6h 4h </font>
<font color="#ffffff">Makonnen doesn't show 9c Ah 2s 6d </font>
<font color="#ffffff">BB doesn't show 2h Kh Js Kc </font>

My thinking, such as it was, is that the flop counterfeits most strong lows. The turn gives me second nut low, and A4 is certainly a possibility, but he could just as easily be betting trip 3's.

Are the turn and river calls stupid or long term EV+?

fold on flop. simple as that, ur just going to end up costing urself the rest of the way down. A4 is still a possibility and when BB is betting both flop and turn and you have a caller in front of you, you are getting 1/4 of this pot @ best.

I stopped reading after this.

Fold.

[Makonnen]

OK, so its clear I don't fold on the flop enough. My W$WSF is around 30% and Went to SD is about 40%, and I fold on the flop about 25% of the time I see it.

In terms of my thought process, I am trying hard to refocus only on flops where I have scoop outs, but in terms of numbers, any guidance on how the above looks?

Hey Makonnen I got a mission for you, go to http://www.o8poker.com/ and read it, GREAT advice.

[Makonnen]

Yeah, I am. It reminds me of when I was learning NLHE and SNG's--reading the advice is the first step, integrating it into the game is the second or third or eighth or whatever.

If you are not going to fold the flop,
you need to raise it. Being a calling
station with marginal hands will get
you nowhere.
