So I was picking on MP but then SB got involved for a min 4bet which I'm obviously not folding to. He's in his 1st orbit at the table so there's no relevant stats.

Absolute/UB Cereus No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) - Absolute/UB Cereus Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Button ($11.89)
SB ($34.65)
BB ($21.48)
UTG ($13.16)
MP ($25.86)
Hero (CO) ($38.60)

Preflop: Hero is CO with ,
1 fold, MP bets $0.85, Hero raises to $2.90, 1 fold, SB raises to $5.80, 2 folds, Hero calls $2.90

Flop: ($12.70) , , (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $7, SB calls $7

Turn: ($26.70) (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks

River: ($26.70) (2 players)
SB raises to $21.85 (All-In), Hero folds

Total pot: $26.70 | Rake: $1.32

How's my play here? Villain check/called this flop which was weird. Apart from an oddly played AK I don't know what I beat here. Whatever he's got it's not making much sense to me but my best guess is an overpair, it's a really strange line though.

yes yes you are folding.

ive always wondered what the fishy logic is for calling 4bets.

and it's not a min4bet either

OK there's no defending my postflop play here, it was total rubbish. I still don't understand why I should fold to his barely more than min 4bet though. Shouldn't I at least see a flop for $2.90 and just shutdown on less than 2 pair (2 pair using my 2 hole cards that is) given that I've got:

*a connected hand that he won't put me on
*3-1 pot odds
*an opponent with another $30 in his stack who'll likely stack off
*I'm in position

I mean what's the problem here? Does villain need more than $30 behind for the implied odds to justify a $2.90 call?

Also I'd been picking on UTG and especially MP with light 3bets and it was quite profitable. I think folding to such a small 4bet would probably spoil this for me as it sends a very weak signal out and probably kills my action here.

i dunno how to do the "we flop two pair x% of time" maths but i can assure you preflop is bad. even if you do flop two pair you'll get counterfeited a bit, AK can whiff and c/f etc.
