Fold pf?
Fold flop?
3-bet turn? (we don't c/r right?)
Lead River?

I c/f this flop a lot.

With the way the flop went, why wouldn't you fold to the raise? You think it's the naked Ad or something? We don't have odds for 4 outs, do we? (8-1... no).

Once we get to the turn though, I really don't mind a bet/call, bet/call line (on a blank river), or a bet/3-ball if we boat up.

Call preflop.

Definitely check/fold the flop. I have a rule that I say to myself over and over again, because chip-spewing has been known to be a leak of mine, believe it or not:

Every time I lead flops, I say to myself "Am I about to spew into a tiny pot out of position?" We don't care that our 3rd pair might be good here... just check/fold.

If the flop had checked around, I'd bet/call the turn and lead a non-D river.

TJ,

why give up on the pot?
You fold c/f AK here?

The pot would be twice as big if we had AK.

We'd also be leading with considerably more fold equity.

Apples and passionfruits.

I give up the pot because there are 41 overcards (52 - four 2's - four 3's - Td - 4d - Qd) that are bad for our hand that are coming off for the turn.

I would have auto-raised AK and auto-bet most flops, so whether or not AK is ahead here isn't relevant.

And the pot's small and we're out of position.

I was going to say "(presuming we misclicked and did not raise)" but figured you'd be smart enough that I could exclude that part...

Now back to the question...

Yes, fold AK in a 3 way 1.5 BB pot, that you are out of position in.

Are you saying you would lead with it because you led with bottom pair?

well, I wasn't going to keep firing.

I'll make note, may be trying too hard

My TT-QQ are killing me, perhaps that leaks into the other hands

I suck
I was thinking c/c but, yeah...
I play better poker when I"m alone
