I cant fold...I can make some great reads, but I CANT FOLD..its always the aw fuck it for one more bet type thing. this happens to me mostly when I have good hands, but sometimes when I have a mediocre hand. the thing is that I dont know if I should be folding because sometimes the players suck so bad that my reads are way off and my mid or top pair is actually good. So I really dont know what outweighs what, the fact that I feel im beat, or the fact that I may get surprised. I looked throgh PT and found a few hands were I did this, hopefully u guys can help me out.

this is a similar one, but the opponent shows more agression so its even more clear that im beat.

judging by the pf limp call Im guessing 5's, 8s was also in my mind..plus he took a lot of time before he actually led out on the flop, then when we capped and he led out I was pretty sure I was beat. is this foldable?


It also happens a lot w/ high Pkt prs like Qs or Ks when an A flops.. Im too lazy to find a particular hand but this is usually how it goes, I raise and get 2 callers (sb and MP that limped Im button w/ K's ) flop comes A35 SB bets MP calls I raise sb calls MP calls, turn 9, SB bets MP folds I call down. Im obviously beat so Im pretty sure I should be folding these right?

I tried showing three different examples were im doing it the most, should I be folding in these type of hands with these reads?

Hand 1:

It sucks, but it happens. You have to call down. If not, you will lose mucho $$$ in the long run.

Hand 2:

After you cap the flop, you can safely fold the turn when bet into.


As for the high pp's when an overcard falls:

If you raise the flop, you have to be willing to fold if you are 3-bet/bet into on the turn/raised on the turn. Against 1 opponent, if he bets the flop, DON'T RAISE/DON'T FOLD. Just call down. It keeps him in the hand with a worse hand, and allows you to lose the minimum when you're behind.

First hand, looks fine.

Second hand, I dunno if I'd cap the flop. Otherwise I think I call down too...

first one..eh it happens...

second one...wayyyyyyyyyyyyy to aggressive...kq isnt not an overly strong hand in the first place as u cant ever have tptk. When he plays back at you like he did...dont continue raising...odds are u are in a lot of trouble...Just call the 3 bet.
