Correct fold? Or should I shove?

**profnabeshin** · 01-05-2011

I flopped two pair, folded the turn thinking he made a set.
His stats for 50 hands are: VP 22/ Google Page Ranking 4/ Afq 55

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (8 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

UTG+1 ($4.61)
MP1 ($4.11)
MP2 ($5)
CO ($4.92)
Button ($10.21)
SB ($4.27)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5

4 folds, CO calls $0.05, Button calls $0.05, SB calls $0.03, Hero checks

Flop: ($0.20) 5

(4 players)

Should I have shoved or is folding the right move?

I don't see what range you could put someone on in this spot that you can fold top and bottom to. Especially since you are getting over 2-to-1 on your call. Queens are out of the question, and likely nines due to the pre-flop action, so the only hands you trail are Q9 and 55

I think this is an easy jam, or even a call is ok to let him keep betting his 9x or QT and other hands drawing very slim, and to give him a chance to continue his bluff should he have a draw and brick out on the turn. The only hands I'm fearing that caught up on the turn is the 6c8c or Q7.

Basically, there are about 4 hands you need to worry about and about 100 you are beating

I don't like folding, as we have some good equity.
He might have a set (55-1,99-3, QQ-meh), maybe 2pair(Q9-6), but he could also have TPGK and a good amount of bluffs in his range. A lot of suited connectors and broadways have good draws to the straight and/or flush, and could certainly be seen making plays.
