    Default Easy fold against LP opponent?

    Skip the standard 'fold pre-flop' talk

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    UTG (t3345)
    UTG+1 (t175)
    MP1 (t2495)
    MP2 (t1460)
    MP3 (t1980)
    Hero (t2595)
    Button (t4740)
    SB (t1990)
    BB (t1745)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with 5, 4.
    4 folds, MP3 calls t50, Hero raises to t150, 1 fold, SB calls t125, BB calls t100, MP3 calls t100.

    Flop: (t600) 3, 5, 4 (4 players)
    SB bets t100, BB folds, MP3 calls t100, Hero raises to t700, SB folds, MP3 calls t600.

    Turn: (t2100) 7 (2 players)
    MP3 bets t1130 (All-In), Hero ???

    I'm getting 2.8:1 to call his push...

    raise more if you're raising, this just builds a pot.

    I guess you do have to fold, he can do this with Adxd but even then you aren't waaay ahead and he plays a lot of the hands you don't want to see the same way.

    That board is scary enough that a push on the flop is probably better than your raise since all your raise does is put you in this impossible position when the turn comes.

    If you do make this raise on the flop, then you really should have it already set out what you are going to do if a 6, 7, 2, or A hits.

    As played - are you ahead of your opp 30% of the time there?

    I'm probably way behind a LP player betting aggressively on that board.

    Preflop is gross. Pop it to 250 if you are trying to fold out a loose CO limp.
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.
