next time stop the action at the SB river 3-bet.

I don't see a reason to raise the river on the first bet to us, nor do I see a reason to fold. As for the 3-bet I would be puking before I made my decision. I think I would find it hard to fold a straight, but I would expect to see a chop or boat a lot.

I don't fold this. They obv like the A but SBs Bet/Call, Check/Call line doesn't exactly read two pair/set. It looks more like a weak A that he didn't want to fold. MP3 could be a slowplay of a set but I still call and hope for just an Ace in both of their hands.

2pair or a set give a lot more action. this is trip As a lot. your fold is awful.

[MPB]

I'd expect to see trip Aces from SB vs. MP3s Flush on showdown.
Together with a boat these are more or less he only 3 holdings we can expect to see.
It's hard to find a reason not to fold, since the pot is not so immense that you're getting like &gt;10:1 on the river and I cannot imagine how we can see trip Aces from MP3 often enough to justify a call?

[Aaron W.]

MP3's line is consistent with both a flush and a weak trip aces. SB's line looks more like trip aces than it does two pair or a set that rivered a boat. I get to showdown in this pot that looks like it will be over 20 BB by the end.

its more marginal than most ppl think i would guess.

pretty sure folding is strictly very slightly higher ev, but come on its like 30 cents for sanity, just make the call.

I don't hate it. I'm surprised that so many people think that the fold isn't close. I think it is, and I think folding might be correct, given the players involved. Since MP3 capped, I think you're behind here (but we didn't have that info at the time of the fold.)

I like your original flat-call on the river, and I think folding might be right, but I don't think I have it in me to make it.

I'm getting to showdown given the limit.
