Second: Yes you need to fold this hand every time, If you were suited I would say maybe call: you are getting 9:1 and if you don't flop a flush draw or 2 pair after the flop let it go. There are far too many hands out there that are dominating yours pre-flop. You can't play A 5o profitably from up front in the long run, it's just not gonna work.
Since you did call with your hand I would say this-
Flop:I would say check call because you know MP is gonna bet.
Turn:Check raise, a check raise is not going to work very well since led out on the flop unless MP is ultra aggresive.
River: I am raising that bet and I would loose alot and flat calling a re-raise but if MP raises and SB re-raise you have to fold. You are beat. The small blind got what he deserved, and you were unfortunate to run into a better hand. It happens but if you think you have the best hand you need to get your money in when you think you have the best hand. I know you led out on the flop but like I said you should smooth call that and unless the turn is really scary, check raise the turn and raise the river.
Thats what I think anyways.Statistics: Posted by digital scar — Wed Jul 13, 2005 6:24 pm
