CP 8/16: TPTK w/nut flush draw -- Can I fold this anywhere?

[Milo]

Villian #1 is an idiot, who earlier capped the river with two pair when there were 3 diamonds and a straight possibility on the board. Villain #2 is Kid Poker who is the second best player at the table (which is admittedly saying very little).

Milo, having not played a hand in the last 30 minutes open-raises in EP with the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Since I've not played a hand in a while, everyone wants to join me, and 6 players cold-call my raise.

7 to the flop for 14 SB. Flop is A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I bet out, Idiot raises, Kid 3-bets, I call, Idiot 4-bets, Kid caps and I call. Everyone else gets out of the way.

3 to the turn for 14.5BB, and the turn is a small black card. I check, Idiot bets, Kid raises, I call, Idiot 3-balls, Kid calls, I call.

23.5BB, and the river is another turd. I check, Idiot bets, Kid calls, I fold.

Thoughts?

I don't think that you can play this any differently.

The table was chock full 'o bad players. I felt I was the best player at the table, which says a lot about how truly bad everyone else was.

Since Kid Poker called two bets cold with J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] to win the hand, I'd have to strike him as best at the table. Idiot had 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] or something similar.

Lol, obv being tongue in cheek. I feel our pain being in this spot. All of those idiot cold callers, you get monster flop and realize that you cant win. You have to call turn, but it feels like the stars are aligned to make you pay the max for a draw you will never hit.

The 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] is on the board.

Also, this is pretty much a Small Stakes hand in both limits and the action PF and flop, etc.

My bad. Must've been a 6 or a 5. Frankly I don't recall exactly.

I also was wondering whether to post in SS or MS, so I did a search on "8/16" in both forums over the past month before posting. Most 8/16 hands were posted here. You are correct, however, that the action was more suited to SS than MS.

I don't care too much if some 8/16 hands are posted here, but if you read the sticky here we're keeping MSHE as 10/20 - 40/80 for the most part. SSHE should have a sticky outlining their parameters, but they don't. Just shows you which forum is better now, doesn't it.

You folded it at just the right moment. How can you fold earlier drawing to the nuts?

[PokerBob]

fine.
