    Default Folding a boat to 4 of a kind

    Going with Fnord's advice I stopped fucking around with big hands.

    Now on the flop, what would this person possibly reraise me like this with WITHOUT a ten? So when the turn came, he thought about it a bit and checked, I thought about it a lot and checked. Folded the river after he pushed all in instantly. This hand saddens me. Would you have called or pushed the turn?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (7 handed) converter

    BB ($10.40)
    UTG ($11.20)
    MP1 ($14.75)
    MP2 ($2.25)
    CO ($10.45)
    Hero ($12.60)
    SB ($9.90)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with 7, 7.
    UTG calls $0.10, MP1 calls $0.10, MP2 calls $0.10, CO raises to $0.3, Hero calls $0.30, 1 fold, BB calls $0.20, UTG calls $0.20, MP1 calls $0.20, MP2 calls $0.20.

    Flop: ($1.85) T, T, 7 (6 players)
    BB checks, UTG bets $0.3, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, CO folds, Hero raises to $1.3, BB folds, UTG raises to $2.3, Hero raises to $5.3, UTG calls $3.

    Turn: ($12.45) T (2 players)
    UTG checks, Hero checks.

    River: ($12.45) Q (2 players)
    UTG bets $5.6 (All-In), Hero folds.

    Final Pot: $18.05
    Main Pot: $12.45, won by UTG.
    Pot 2: $5.60, returned to UTG.

    himself fucker.
    Yup, you had the right reasoning behind your fold.

    The same reasoning should lead you to a nice healthy flop reraise.

    I can understand the merits of pot commiting him on the flop, but he is chasing 3 hidden outs and 1 pretty obvious one.

    I don't mind this hand at all.

    I think you played this hand fine...you just got counterfeited. The T hitting the board destroys your hand, but this doesn't happen very often.

    Probably a good fold. I don't think your opp has a T though, I'm thinking something like pockets Jacks or 9's.

    Why JJ or 99? He clearly has quads.
