It feels weak as hell to just fold these, but the opponents are so predictable that it's theright decision. So far at my new site, I've lost every single time I went to SD with TPTK or an overpair if I got raised postflop in a pot that I had raised preflop.
This is ESPECIALLY true in 3-bet pots, as here. Once it's 3-bet pf they're pretty much putting you on AA, and they're not raising unless they can beat that.
Not saying your opponents are that predictable at whatever site this is. Certainly 5-max plays different from FR. But I know you moved down in limits recently due to a bad run, and perhaps at the new limits the players are going to be more predictable / bad / unable to semibluff, and you can just fold, even on boards like these.
The worse your opponents are, the more you can deviate from playing optimally and being non-exploitable. If you hate being put to tough decisions, and hate losing a stack on crap hands like these ... and you want to run your bankroll back up with minimal risk ... may I recommend a switch to full ring $50-$100 NL at Cake Poker?
