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 scary

K-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.

There are rebuys on Pacific

this wasn't on pacific, can't you tell? only four to the flop, that doesn't happen at pacific.

aseem

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..."

Without reading replies, fold.

Jeff, it's never over until you opine!
