    Is this a hero fold?
    30 Mar 2010 at 12:45pm

    villain runs 27/5. I don't want to 3b the hand because he is opening so tight. On the river, with the board pairing my plan was to c/c, but then he bets less than 1/2 pot, so I value raise putting him on AK or AA. He re ships and im getting 5.4:1. Is this a fold?

     

    Full Tilt Poker NL Hold'em - $2/$4 Ring (6 handed)

    Seat 1: SB ($828)
    Seat 2: BB (Hero) ($400)

    Seat 4: LP ($436)
    Seat 5: CO ($417.40)
    Seat 6: BTN ($479.90)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with


    3 folds, BTN raises $14, 1 fold, Hero calls $10

    Flop: ($30) - 2 players

    Hero checks, BTN bets $20, Hero calls $20

    Turn: ($70) - 2 players

    Hero checks, BTN bets $40, Hero calls $40

    No its not a hero fold. Its a standard fold vs most people. If this nit is also playing passiv post then its a terrible call imo.

    Yeah, I see this as a pretty standard hand.  I do agree that raising the river WAS the right play, but unless he is some kind of a maniac, this should be a pretty easy fold I think.
