What you can do is:

1. Use a converter. please.
2. Don't include results.
3. <------------ Go find BBV

Burns - I don't think you have a very good starting hand. That's just my opinion, and I think many better players than me will disagree. Thus I wouldn't get involved in the hand to begin with.

You'll catch a five on the flop only approximately one time out of eight, your four cards do not work well together, and your ace is not suited (indeed, the hand is a rainbow).

When you do catch a five on the flop, you're far from home free, and your hand probably needs as much protection as you can give it. But when someone makes a big bet in front of you, you have to be concerned about being up against a higher set, and even top two pairs will beat your full house if the board pairs with nines or aces.

I don't personally like calling this 2nd round bet. I think you either get out of the pot or raise.

You did have some tough luck on the hand.

To answer your question, I think you should get out of the hand before the flop. After that, I'd be more or less stuck.

If you want to hide your results for future posts, and that might be a little better, you can type "color:white" (without the quotation marks) and enclose it in square brackets, [], (probably located just after the letter "p" on your keyboard). Then at the end of your results, type "/color" (also without the quotation marks) and enclose the /color also in square brackets. Then when someone is interested in viewing your results, they can drag their mouse over them and they will become readable.

I hope I wrote the above directions clearly enough that you can follow them. If not I'll try to answer your questions about how to hide your results, if you are interested. Or you can include them as you have done in the above post.

Fold this hand preflop, it is terrible. Repot flop, you cant do anything about quads.

Burns - I'd spell the word "color" rather than "colour." They mean the same thing, but

<font color="white">disguises what I write,</font> while

[colour:white]doesn't.[/colour]

Drag over it with a mouse to see what I hid.

If you don't fold this pre-flop, I don't think you can really get away from it post-flop. I would have made the call as well.
