would you fold this? Background: I was playing heads up with this guy who had rebought like 4 times already, He was an agressive calling station, but he was a bit tricky because he often put in massive overbets to the pot, hed show a bluff, and then show the nuts. I called his bluffs a few times but other times I called him when he actually had it, this caused a bunch of swing, I eneded up taking him down, but I still thinking I might be playing too safe, and not calling enough (I could do the betting part very agressively, but when it comes to calling I get a bit defensive).. anyway I this hand happend a bit before he busted.Seat 3: Other Dude ($36.15 in chips)Seat 8:  takemycash9 [KD,10C] ($124.75 in chips)ANTES/BLINDStakemycash9 posts blind ($0.25), other dude posts blind ($0.50).PRE-FLOPtakemycash9 bets $1.25, other dude calls $1.FLOP [board cards 3D,KC,9H ]O.D. bets $2, takemycash9 bets $5, O.D. calls $3. ( POT: $13)TURN [board cards 3D,KC,9H,QH ]OD bets $2, takemycash9 calls $2. (POT $17)RIVER [board cards 3D,KC,9H,QH,10S ]O.D. bets $27.65 and is all-in, takemycash9 folds. (POT 43.80SHOWDOWNO.D. shows [ 9C,10H ]O.D. wins $43.80.Maybe it was just the outcome of the hand that makes me kind of iffy about how I played it. But against a guy that either pushes with the nuts or on a stone cold bluff, I thought I might be able to pick a better spot. Was I right in folding?

Even headsup, all you have is top pair-medium kicker and a gutshot.And he keeps betting, you have to fold this on the river...hell I'm not entirely thrilled with your turn call but mehEasy fold I think

Dont post resultsI hate calling overbets, just annoying.

Agreed, don't look at what he ended up having. Even if he WAS bluffing with J-2, you're beat on the river. I'd be folding this too.

I had a guy tell me that he "f-ed up" while playing him heads up. I had a low pocket pair and the flop came all high. He checked the flop I follow. The turn brings another high card so I bet the turn, he calls. The river brings a one card straight, so I decide the time is right to push, and I did. He folded. Later he says he "f-ed up," because he had two pair J4 (what he was doing playing J4 to a pre flop raise is beyond me). I just laughed at him.

actually I had 2 pair, this dude couldve been betting bottom pair though, thats just how he played.. (he couldve also been betting the J) P.S. Sorry for posting the results..it was a slip up

Oops, my bad.I'm probably folding this hand on the turn anyways

i play nl cash a lot...i cant stand limit but thats another story...this same thing happend to me the other day...or reasonably same thing...i folded as well and regardless of what he had i think you made the right lay down...i would have...that board is not good...i also dont like your turn call that much...i would rather have either folded or rasied in that situation...being that you liek to be aggresive that may have been a better play...but i do agree with your lay down

4-card boards are deadly.I don't care what the limit is, if there are 4 straight cards on the board, and a guy iswilling to put in all his cash, there's no way you can call, even if you have trips...Same goes for 4-flush boards, even with trips ora straight, without a flush card, it's nearly impossibleto call unless you have an incredible read.Much better to wait for a more optimal time
