KJs hand I wasn't happy with

very good analysis.

i checkraised here and folded to a 3bet. I felt empty afterwards [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

About the turn, I am not sure I like folding here as much because it is possible he is semi bluffing or something (although he is unknown) or maybe even freeshowdowning QQ + a spade or something.
Anyone agree?


Edit; Oh, also, you are forgetting another KJ in your analysis. Still don't think he has it often enough to call for chop here.

That's a great fold IMO. My real question is what was your plan for the river if you did NOT hit two pair?

Thanks, Mike

Given that, why not just call on the river here? I.e don't raise and give yourself a chance to get outplayed.

BZ:

Given the general situation: you value check raise on the river and then fold to a three-bet. Please give me a guess as to the following. What percentage of the time do you wind up laying down the best hand?

Let me ask the same question in a slightly different way. If you always paid off in these spots, how many bets do you think it would cost you in an average month?

I realize it's very difficult to know since the other player rarely shows his cards. But still, I'm asking for your best guess estimate.

Thanks.

I'm a very aggressive player when it comes to getting value with better hands. I think a big leak of mine is that I'll raise almost any time I'm convinced I have the best hand, I'll raise on the river, knowing I'm capable of folding to a 3bet. This probably costs me more than I think in the long run, because people know I am capable of making "big" folds.
