    Default Good fold?

    Was I too quick to fold here? It was a min bet, but I figured losing more than needed on a hand where I had nothing wasn't a good idea. It's a clear fold if faced with a real bet. I'm not sure given that it wasn't, however. What do you think?

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (9 handed) converter

    MP2 ($23.45)
    MP3 ($47.6)
    CO ($50)
    Button ($116.75)
    SB ($43)
    Hero ($32.5)
    UTG ($37.15)
    UTG+1 ($40.75)
    MP1 ($128.05)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 5, A. CO posts a blind of $0.5. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
    1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.50, 2 folds, MP3 calls $0.50, CO (poster) checks, Button calls $0.50, SB (poster) completes, Hero checks.

    Flop: ($3) 3, 7, J (6 players)
    SB checks, Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, MP3 checks, CO bets $0.5, Button calls $0.50, SB calls $0.50, Hero folds, UTG+1 folds, MP3 folds.

    Turn: ($4.50) A (3 players)
    SB checks, CO checks, Button folds.

    River: ($4.50) K (2 players)
    SB checks, CO checks.

    Final Pot: $4.50

    I'll take a crack, and please feel free to blast any mistakes..........

    You have no pairs, no chance at a flush, and need runner/runner to make a straight 3-7. Even if an A hits, you are most likely outkicked. So, anything but folding would be boneheaded. Min raise or not, unless you are going to blast that flop with a pot sized bluff (which would be risky due to you not raising pre-flop), your hand is over.

    You missed one more thing.

    It's a pretty small pot.

    Ok, good.

    See, at least one of the hands I'm posting was played right!

    I feel like I'm going to be regarded as an idiot by the time I'm through posting my iffy hands from this weekend, but (4-tabling or not) I made some bonehead plays and want to make sure I have a firm grasp on what areas I misplayed before returning to the table.
