We good? If you fold anywhere in the hand, please explain why...

PS - Ho ho ho.

I'd sometimes fold pf. Depending on the pf raiser and my mood. I don't think calling is a mistake.

I don't fold on the flop or turn.
Actuary
I fold preflop.

Why? Because I don't like my chances against a MP2 raiser getting 5:1

Much depends on read on him, as well as, what SB will call with here.

I call with KJ (sometimes, as I begin to play more from BB)

Well, you may not like your chances, but what is the worst case for us? I can think of three:

a) One or more opponents has an overpair (not likely here)

cool.gif One or more opponents has a pair > 9 (not terribly likely, but possible)

c) One or more opponents has a better king

The rest of the hands give us a virtual coin flip HU, and more than enough equity to call with 2 opponents.

So since you're an actuary, Actuary, are we up against any of those often enough to warrant folding this hand without reads?

RIO.
Pos.

I'm never that much ahead on any flop thats not K9x,99x,kKx

I don't think it's a huge mistake to call, just slight one.

poor visibility


I don't call with it in the CO afte 4 limpers; I'm sure as heck not calling now given a pfr and pos. If MP2 is LAggy, or if its the Button, I usually call here. I give Mp2 more respect

anyway, it's your hand.

Hehe, you misunderstand. I'm not arguing that my play was best... I'm honestly asking how often these bad scenarios crop up to warrant folding.

I don't think the PF call is +EV, but I don't think it's -EV either. I'm looking for confirmation of an argument to the contrary smile.gif
