I guess it depends on how your opponnents play, you have any reads on them?maybe utg hit two pair or already has a king, guessing MP probably has a weak king or a 7 and is fishing for two pair also.don't know where to go from there, best to just fold, you could be beat in many ways here.

I think you have to fold here. BB usually isn't bluffing when that innocent duece falls.The board is very uncoordinated, so it's unlikely either opponent is on a draw. MP called the bet, so it's likely he has something even if the BB is bluffing. I think you're drawing here too often (and maybe only to two outs) to make it profitable to continue.

I'm having trouble putting anybody on hands.Overcards and/or backdoor draws for MP3 and CO. I think this means many river cards can look/be scaryK-rag, two pair or a set for BB. I don't know why he'd bluff bet instead of bluff check raise.I'd fold.What hands you put these guys on, Aseem?

So MP folded the flop and called the turn? :-)And, I think it's a pretty easy fold.

Seems like a pretty easy fold at this point. I'm not real sure why you played this hand to begin with though.

So MP folded the flop and called the turn?  :-).

There are rebuys on Pacific

i'm not sure it's as easy a fold as you guys make it out to be.or maybe it is. such a small pot.it's just that i really don't believe that BB has me beat here as often as it seems...aseem

it is. 2:1 to call down

I was waiting for that line, though I was banking on, "I think this is closer than you guys think."That said, you think you've got BB beat. And what of the CO?

ok ok, i'm a fish, so sue me.yeah, it took me a long time and i called and then folded the river u/i when i was overcalling CO.the bet just seemed super-suspicious to me. i was wrong though... BB had K-J. he was pulling some pro expert move.aseem

Fish pull this move all the time. It either means, I'm bluffing, or I just him my hand. Usually it's the latter.Fish don't think. But this move works against the better players because they think "something's fishy here..."
