I folded on the turn partially because of a previous AK hand where I tried to tough it out and lost to a flopped set. I know that's not proper thinking, but I still felt it was a good fold...

You're getting 4.5;1 odds, your implied odds look like crap. You dont want to get hit up for a cap on 4th street with just TPTK. I like the fold. I just really find it hard to believe that you're in the lead.

I don't know. If it were me holding that hand... I'd be really pissed about the situation, and I'd definitely post the hand and look for feedback.

I wanna say you should show down TPTK... because you'll feel really dumb if they turned up weak aces and draws. But I hate going really crazy with just one pair too.

You're never going to believe the winning hands...The LAG had a busted flush draw with Q-10

The fishy had Q-7 offsuit...for even more nothing...with all that raising...wtf, why couldn't I have hit two pair or something

I don't understand UTG+1's flop play. He calls the first bet, then caps.

I am leading the turn and folding if it is two back to me.

I tell ya, if I had been paying better attention, I would have seen that he had just called the first bet, unfortunately I did not x.x

I'm thinking I should have continued bet on a blank...but again I had that damn other hand stuck in my head

And that is why you keep your foot in the gas on the turn.

Absolute's line is mine as well.

I hate when that happens. We behave like abused children after a bad beat... and we end up missing out on all kinds of value bets and huge pots.

Technically it wasn't a bad beat as he had a small pair but the point still stands tongue.gif
I chalk that up to being relatively new to limit

I would have made a crying call and would have probably folded if the turn was capped. There are so many fish on 0.5/1 L Party Poker that you may have the best hand right now. Of course, you are probably up against a good hand and a draw. If you are up against two pair, you are getting the proper odds to outdraw that hand. If you are against a set, thats poker, move on to the next hand.
It's been my experience that you're hand is best already enough times, or has a good enough chance to outdraw, that you are getting the proper odds on this hand to see it to the end.
