um no

that was a badass bluff fold.


how is this good? you could have went all in and taken his stack.

Whoops meant to put a question mark in the titlte.

I have absolutely no reads on this guy, and from my point of view i'm not up on alot of the crap this guy would call me with. Even Ak QQ, KQ have tonnes of outs on me and KK jj and TT KJ KT JT i'm already way behind on.

Without having any reads i don't see any reason to get into a huge conflict with this guy. Thats what i thoguht when i laid it down, give me a reason as to why i shouldn't of.

I actually agree with your sentiments - out of his range of hands there's a lot that you're way behind, and a few that you're somewhat ahead of but not dominating (like if he has a pair plus a draw). Or it could be a naked bluff. Absent a read on the player, I would flip a coin and either re-raise his raise, or fold. Or you could call and hope for a queen to bail you out from any further difficult decisions. Personally I think he's probably ahead of you here, but the pot is large enough to warrant fighting over it a little further on the chance that he's bluffing a worse hand. What I would not do is shove all-in and hope for the best.

To me it smells like two pair or a set is trying to take the pot down now before things get more dangerous. I don't know that I'd put him on a straight, but that's possible as well. Or it could just be a bluff.

after playing a couple rounds with him i probably would have tried to take his stack, because he was a total fish, but that also means that he was the type of player to call with stuff that is easily dominated like Q9, K10, KJ: all of which beat me. Both good players and bad players were up on me in alot of situations, so i just let it go.
