    Default Bullied, or correct fold?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    CO ($333.85)
    Button ($391.95)
    SB ($159.95)
    BB ($197)
    UTG ($205)
    Hero ($195)

    Preflop: Hero is MP with K, A.
    1 fold, Hero raises to $8, CO calls $8, 1 fold, SB calls $7, BB calls $6.

    Flop: ($32) K, 7, Q (4 players)
    SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $22, CO folds, SB raises to $64, BB folds, Hero folds.

    Final Pot: $76

    Nitty fold? Seems very strong for KJ, KQ?



    Very next hand

    Hero checks, Button bets $74, Hero ?

    I guess I shoulda bet here, but what is your action here?

    Got reads?

    I would shove hand 1. Draw heavy board against a short-buy in the blinds. Let's gamble baby!

    Hand 2 is a more difficult spot because you're up against a full-buy who called you on the button in a smaller pot and your hand is a bit weaker on that board. Anyone just dump this to the flop raise?

    Hand 1: i dump to the flop raise, he aint THAT short for me to go gamble with. His raise is strong IMO

    Hand 2: I just muck against the flop raise as i did in hand 1. Your ahead of so so little and those hands you are beating are killing you in reverse odds
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

    I fold both on the flop because I never see people reraise with TPTK or worse. Unless I know villain is capable of otherwise.

    I shove the flop in Hand 1 and fold the turn in Hand 2

    I'm not folding the flop in hand 2 with a gin card and TPGK

    My nit post of the day: I fold hand 2 PF. **gasp**

    I think the first ones an easy fold, the second one is close but a fold is also fine.

    Hand 1). Flop c/r is too big to be a draw, and against an unknown i would fold this.

    Hand 2). Fold. And playing K-Qo UTG is pretty marginal, unless the table is playing very tight i think you end up in too many tough spots like this on the flop.

    Yes.

    TPGK doesn't beat any made hand on that board. Gin card is not important because it's an action killer and you might be drawing to a split. Also, you are OOP.

    no folding of hand 1

    hand 2 is def more of a grey area

    Lately I've noticed a LOT of flop re-raises. I don't know what it is, but I'm seeing people do it with air thinking you are just cbetting with nothing, middle pair, draws... but often it's usually more like $22 to $50, just over 2x. The 3x raise usually means more business. But I think I call and on any non-draw completing turn I make a strong bet. SB could have KQ or 77 but lots of other stuff in his range is possible.

    Hand 2 I might be good still as I've seen so many draws re-raise on flops lately but it's expensive to find out + they could hit their draw + we don't have TPTK so its a fold. I probably should fold this UTG unless its sooted.

    Your beating very little in both hands...unless you know villain is rather laggy.
