Ouch. Reads? I probably push, it could be any number of draws.

Oops, sorry, no qualitative reads, but I forgot to include the PT stats that I generally forget to consult. Maybe I should start consulting them more [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] :

111 hands, 23/8, 4.67 post AF, 1.69% c/r (which includes this instance since all these stats are retroactive).

I'll post my flop thinking in a sec.

Default Flop thinking

OK, so this seems faulty in retrospect, but I call the raise, figuring that I might well be ahead, and if I'm behind to something like AQ then a scare card could allow me to represent a bigger monster on the turn and still have outs if called.

Turn: 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($37.75, 2 players)
BB bets $20, Hero ????

I now have $33 behind. The turn isn't awful, since I do have a redraw against a made flush, Broadway, better two pair, or set. But is BB scared or trying to induce action?

I think that BB most often has AQ here. In hindsight, I think that we can argue for a fold, as villan is very unlikley to have less than our two pair, the only possibility being AxK:spade . I do not think that I can fold this online, when we only have seconds to make a decision. I can make this fold live.

Without wanting to hijack the thread does anyone have this same problem, they find it hard to make decisions and good laydowns online compared to live, or used to and have improved in this respect, any tips?
