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  ... 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  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...

[titaniumbean]

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  ... 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

[GreekStein]

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.
