50p £1 game at Leeds... everyone on the table is sat pretty deep,,, all over 100bb...

HERO sat down with £170
Villain 1 sat with around £250
Villain 2 sat with around £300

HERO straddles the pot to £2,,, 6 limpers in so hero checks his option with  Kd 4d...

The flop comes down  7d 8d 2s....
HERO checks,,, Villain 1 checks,,, Villain 2 leads for £10... HERO calls,,, Villain 1 calls

Turn  Qd... Hero checks,,, Villain 1 bets £10.... Villain 2 raises to £50... Hero???

Don't straddle. Fold pre.

Shove now.

This. What other board do you realistically want to see with that pile of poo? Get it in now and if you're behind, then it's cold.

Y not straddle?

I think its abit of a over push

I think you could just call and shove the river

Lol... why not straddle... then when everybody limps,,, why not check...

I folded on the turn and Villain 1 called... The river came  8c... Villain 1 checked Villain 2 shoved... assuming I was still in on the river am I calling now???

Nah, I'm completely lost now. There are 3 diamonds on the board right? We have a king of diamonds right? We also have a 4 of diamonds to go with the king of diamonds. In total we have five diamonds. That makes a flush. Holding the king means we have the second best hand available in all of poker. Why are we folding this?

Read dependant... The guy who did this I have often played with before at various Leeds casino's... He plays maybe 1/2 hands an hour,,, pretty much waiting to hit the nuts and get paid off and i honestly thought I was beat... When villain 1 passed he showed  Ad but didn't show the other and wouldn't say what he had... Not sure whether my fold was correct but I went with my instincts...

Then why post it on here? No-one can ever make this read dependent fold here. And FWIW, even if this was Justin I was playing in this pot I'm not folding.

As for straddling pre? That's something to do when you're drunk and fancy spewing a bit of money. It's very much a -EV play.

lmao i very rarely straddle and yes I was drinking... as for it being Justin it wasn't... I would never fold this to Justin because I am beating most of Justin's raising range...

Plus Charles I have seen you straddle before at Alea...

is this a beat or a brag thread? wtf?

go home or dont fold.

just wondered if i played the turn badly... Should I have called and put a blocker bet on the river... By the villain showing just the  Ad... It is quite possible that he shoved A 8 on the river... 

If i'm ever playing cash i've usually had quite a bit to drink by that point :)

I would suggest a few options.....

Cartwheels

Fistpumps

Possibly even a firework display

Get it in. And straddling is fine.

On a scale of 1-10 -  1 being you played the turn very badly, 10 being you played it absolutely awfully - you score a 17 :)

You simply can't go around folding the 2nd nuts to this action, no matter how tight the player. And you don't need to consider blocker bets (wtf) or any river action because we should be looking to get all the money in on the turn.

NIT

I am... Don't like losing money at poker lol... (weird since i spew money like mad on sports betting and tables lol) Just my thing,,, I like my money going in ahead as often as possible...

2nd nuts your pretty much ahead 99% of the time?

But by folding in this spot you ARE losing money.

As often as possible? Must be 100% if the 2nd nuts isn't good enough :)

And If I was then props to the player for raising with air and getting me off it... Maybe that was his intention...
99% of the time I am but i trusted my read and went with it...

If you went with your read why are you posting this up?

its obv ppl are gonna say shove/ dont fold?

what response are you hoping to get

Who were the villains?

On a table of nits straddle ftw.

You want to get it in ahead? but you hate  positive expectation plays yeah? cos we haz K frush. and as you haven't thought about a single hand he can hold except the nuts why did you post this?

Why is your first thought that you are losing? why do you have to limit your losses, do you not like winning?

lol i started writing a post last night but lost the text before i posted.

It started with, 'I assume yr not considering folding coz if he has the nuts its a cooler... raise or flat?'

Another consideration is that he may open a suited Ace pre

ask gala to put on a marbles comp or something more suitable for you imo

if your so nitty with money why sit with 170bbs, sit down with 50-100bbs ad make decisons like this easy.

you have the 2nd nuts, get it in pls.

do you think he is really just flatting any any 2 diamonds?

Where is he gonna play outside?

hmm did I say I sat down with 170bbs??? this is not my first hand... The guy bet and did not flat... on the flop he led out... then he raised the turn...


Villain 1 I don't really care about in the hand,,, Michael 'Taxman' Macofsky... Villain 2 not really sure what his name was... asian guy... as i said I have played with him elsewhere...

I can't believe you folded, how can you pass here it's insane.. I thought you wanted advice on how to play the hand but you seem like you already made your decision that folding was correct and you don't need anyones advice, really bizarre.
