top 2 pair on gutshot + bdfd river, 2 bets to you. Standard fold?

Peter Harris · #1 08-13-2006, 02:35 PM

Just back from 2 weeks off, made this fold and wondered if it was as easy as i thought it was. Whenever i take a fortnight off i come back to a 100BB downswing which i assume is largely due to poor rusty play.

Also, i should be betting the river, right?

with a 4 straight on the board, i think it's a fold.

This hand was played fine.

I think the fold is fine but I think bet-folding is better.

Edit: I'm probably calling a raise if the third guy folds before or after.

I don't like the river check. I prefer bet/folding. As played good fold.

With no reads on both players, I would rather take a showdown line which is why I dont mind checking here. I think the river play is close between Checking and seeing the action, Bet/folding and even Bet/calling depending on the action.

Also,

can't these fuckers just fold their Q5 on the flop?

Please?

Ya I suppose bet/calling is close too. How about bet/fold to an overcall raise and call vs. one player?

:grunching:
I think I would b/f the river. As played, I would have folded 2 back to me on the river as well.

Correct, one villain had K5, the other Q5. Way to draw with gutshot+over.

Actually, their odds must have been close. not with me holding an out, tho.

Thanks for the comments, I think b/f would have been better on the river too. It's been a -$900 week so far, i love 2/4 and 3/6.
