  1. When would you ever fold on this turn? What are some factors would you consider in order to fold?also,if anybody has time.

    Here is my scenario:
    I have $680 and I just got into the table.about 40mins in.(2/5) game.

    Utg +1 raise to 25 (calls himself a pro after the hand,wide opener range,played with him before, covers me he had 1700) im on his left.

    I 3bet to 75 with 7c5c (I dont think I shouldn't done that)

    But everybody folds and villain calls for 50 more.

    Flop was: As 8c 2c
    Pot (157)

    He checks. I cbet to 100.
    Villain calls.

    (Pot 357)Turn was 6s
    Giving me flush draw and OE. I have 505 left.

    He checks again. I raised to 200.im planning to shove on the river if it bricks.
    But villain decides to jam all in.
    I have 305 left. I consider folding but he offers to run the river twice.
    I called and bricked both river.Should I have folded? Or should I call here all the time? Should I also consider checking?

    Thoughts and comments please.
    I will reveal what he has if someone took his time to read this. THANK YOU!

  2. I agree with Bart 100% at every point in this hand… Please please please listen to this pre flop advice

  3. good analysis. even though you lost, calling there should give you some table credibility in the future.

  4. Bart can you please explain more on how we're calling that check/jam on turn? Even if he flips over his hand (which was KQ) we're only getting 2 to 1 on a call. I understand we have 15 outs (if he specifically shows us that hand) but this cannot be a profitable call here. Maybe I'm missing something here but this seemed like a clear fold and wait for a better spot in a low stakes game.

  5. The decision to call or fold to his shove is actually not that important. Its so close, that we don’t make a big mistake either way. So its more important to focus on, how we got to the point, where he shoved. I am ok with preflop and flop, but I don’t think, this was a great spot to go for a dubble barrel. Yes we picked up a bunch of equity on the turn, and that’s all well and good. But the turn card also helped a lot of his range, so I just don’t think, he is folding much on that particular card. KJ and 87 are now straights, Q9 and T9 are now two pair, QJ and JT are now OESD with a pair, and KQ is now top pair with a gutshot. So I would much rather check this behind on the turn, hope to improve on one of my million outs, and just give up, if I don’t. This hand is now so strong, that its almost like, it has showdown value, so we don’t really need to bluff with it.
