    Default Top 2 Pair...Good Fold?

    No reads on either player as I havent been at the table for very long. UTG+1 had pretty much exactly what I thought, it was SB that concerned me. I figure him for 66, pair and the flush draw or the same hand as me.

    Good fold?




    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: ITH Forums)

    CO ($55.20)
    Button ($17.10)
    SB ($39.20)
    Hero ($49.05)
    UTG ($47.25)
    UTG+1 ($25)
    MP1 ($52.80)
    MP2 ($27.80)
    MP3 ($27.15)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with , .
    UTG calls $0.50, UTG+1 calls $0.50, 5 folds, SB completes, Hero checks.

    Flop: ($2) , , (4 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $1, UTG folds, UTG+1 raises to $4, SB raises to $38.7, Hero folds, UTG+1 calls $20.50 (All-In).

    Turn: ($66.20) (2 players, 1 all-in)

    River: ($66.20) (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: $66.20

    Results in white below:
    SB has 4h Kh (flush, king high).
    UTG+1 has Ks As (two pair, kings and sixes).
    Outcome: SB wins $66.20.

    I think that with a 100bb stack in an unraised pot you should be able to get away from that hand there - as you say you should be losing/splitting or at best vs a flush draw which will beat you a third of the time anyway. With only $1 invested - good disciplined fold. I must say would struggle to lay that down.

    Thanks. I'm really trying to work on my laydowns as it is easily the weakest part of my game.

    Yeah. This is an action flop with your hand and the pot's small. You're not getting much action for $1 that you're not for $2. Good fold. A lot to call in an unraised pot.

    EDIT: Just saw results. Fuck full ring. That's shit's sooooooo gay.

    well the pot is unrasied, however 66 is still out there if anybody had it. kkk and ttt arent worries. honestly i dont know why sb is making that play. i think he has QJh here alot of the time, HOWEVER, utg still can have a set(or KQ, or a draw himself, his range is big), and you are even money to a huge draw like that, so its a good fold, especaily with only a dollar in the pot.

    making that play sb pretty much has to have a big draw or a set of 6's.

    edit: just saw results. man im good.
