| Well here is the hand history right from PokerStars. I was playing in a tournament and had just got a couple hands ago. Check it out below... Was I right to fold this hand? I mean I didn't want to lose my whole stack just yet. I was scared he trapped me with a flush... Or he could have a 3 of a kind... I was wondering about this, Tell me what you think? *********** # 4 ************** PokerStars Game #87334351: Tournament #202981, Hold'em No Limit - Level IV (50/100) - 2003/07/31 - 03:55:36 (EST) Table '202981 66' Seat #6 is the button Seat 1: hipster (4295 in chips) Seat 2: danny (8144 in chips) Seat 3: gotmadaa (1065 in chips) Seat 4: RobinTheHood (4010 in chips) Seat 5: tigerlee (2457 in chips) Seat 6: CoinDog (4490 in chips) Seat 7: sakora13 (1015 in chips) is sitting out Seat 8: Eaglesfan48 (3900 in chips) Seat 9: NukeEm (3610 in chips) sakora13: posts small blind 50 Eaglesfan48: posts big blind 100 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to Eaglesfan48 [8d As] NukeEm: folds hipster: calls 100 danny: calls 100 gotmadaa: calls 100 RobinTheHood: calls 100 tigerlee: calls 100 CoinDog: calls 100 sakora13: folds Eaglesfan48: checks *** FLOP *** [2c 3d 8c] Eaglesfan48: bets 200 hipster: folds danny: calls 200 gotmadaa: folds RobinTheHood: folds tigerlee: folds CoinDog: folds *** TURN *** [2c 3d 8c] [Tc] Eaglesfan48: bets 200 danny: calls 200 *** RIVER *** [2c 3d 8c Tc] [Ad] Eaglesfan48: bets 500 danny: raises 7144 to 7644 and is all-in Eaglesfan48: folds danny collected 2550 from pot danny: doesn't show hand *** SUMMARY *** Total pot 2550 | Rake 0 Board [2c 3d 8c Tc Ad] Seat 1: hipster folded on the Flop Seat 2: danny collected (2550) Seat 3: gotmadaa folded on the Flop Seat 4: RobinTheHood folded on the Flop Seat 5: tigerlee folded on the Flop Seat 6: CoinDog (button) folded on the Flop Seat 7: sakora13 (small blind) folded before Flop Seat 8: Eaglesfan48 (big blind) folded on the River Seat 9: NukeEm folded before Flop (didn't bet) | ||

| Good Fold. I put him on (likely to least) Flush, 10 10, A 10, AA | ||

| No argument on the river. Not worth the risk of calling so early. However, I'd suggest your mistake was not betting enough on the flop. Perhaps trying to take the hand right there (with your top pair, top kicker) was the right play. Here's my reasoning. Had you bet 700 on the flop, you would have denied him the right odds to draw to a flush (or at least made him pay dearly for the privelege). If he had two overcards, AQ, AJ, or AT, he probably wouldn't have chased. And if he called or reraised, you could put him on a set and act accordingly. But for an extra 200--especially for a chip leader--there's no way he's not staying in. Interested in others' thoughts. | ||

| I agree with MK that you should have nailed him on the flop. But I would put his hand at A2, A3, A4. If he had a flush he probably would have raised you for a few hundred on the turn or river instead of going all in. All in is usually a defensive move not an offensive move. He may have had a low flush and that is why he didn't try to trap you but on a high flush I think he would have played you for another bet or two. When you flop top pair and have an A kicker that's when you go all in to protect your pair against a draw. I think he was trying to match up his low pair or his ace or catch his A-5 straight draw. He liked that A so that's why I put him with A and a low card. I think you had him with a better second pair but it's a tough call. If he was known as a semi bluffer than I would have called. If he was a tight agressive then sometimes it's best to fold up and try again when you know you have them beat. | ||
