    Default 5NL: folded a boat - too nitty?

    sb is 40/9/1.7 over 92 hands and BB is 15/7/4 over 166 hands. Special case I guess with trips on the board
    but I couldn't see a bet and a raise without at least one of them having a PP ,Ax or a 6 . even KQ type hands leave me vulnerable on the river. So all in all ...was a fold correct or too nitty

    All boats are not created equal.

    Also, I don't see how you could consider playing this hand any other way.

    typical of 5NL. oh, and nice fold. at least 9 better hands feasible. bet AND a raise, you arent good on this board.

    however, i also take notes on the others here. 22 turned his hand into a bluff and didnt raise enough to boot. and, QQ didnt come back over with a raise if his own. take notice of such things.
    LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

    Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!
