Re: Two Pair - Bad fold ?? Blimey that's passive!:loon:loon Think I'd call that bet on the end. Still in reasonable shape if you lose, but great if you win. Nothing in his betting to suggest he's strong from his betting. You've just called pre and check in position on the flop, so he's fired a couple of bullets. He could have hit the straight but I'd fancy my chances.

Re: Two Pair - Bad fold ?? Should we consider this from an ICM point of view, given the flat pay out structure of the DoN game ? I have a decent chip stack, there are two very small stacks. Cash game or normal sng I think it's a call, but not sure here. Obviously I have real doubts here, reason for the thread

Re: Two Pair - Bad fold ??

Also where would I raise ? Preflop with AQo out of position ? On a flop where I missed ? Arguement for betting harder when the Ace hits on the turn I do agree
You should raise pre-flop to protect your hand from being outdrawn on the river by the BB with J3o. As for the river bet I probably fold here giving him credit for the J. The only other possibilities are he has you on a missed flush draw because you haven't shown any strenght all the way through and so is trying to steal the pot.

Re: Two Pair - Bad fold ?? When you called the turn bet what were you hoping to happen on the river? By your actions you look like you are hoping for either an Ace or a Jack? So 6 outs from 46 cards = ~13% chance of hitting. (in fact 3 of those cards - Jd, Jh and Ad - would complete flush possibilities, so you still couldn't be confident you were ahead - so we're down to potentially 3 outs from 46 cards - a 6.5% chance) You called 200 to win 780 = 3.9/1 pot odds for a 13.3/1 chance of hitting your card. It's hard to put him on a hand given the way the action has gone, I would be inclined to think you were ahead however. But in answer to the question you asked - it isn't a bad fold in my opinion. The call on the turn was however, if you were just hoping to hit a set, a straight, or go check-check on the river.

with blinds so large and relative stack sizes so small, you'd raise with AQ with 6 players left to act after you preflop ? looking back at the hand now, I think the better way forward would to be fold preflop, I have a good stack and playing marginal hands like AQ out of position is asking for trouble. Thanks for the responses

I sure would. Raise to 600. And if I got re-raised all-in I could fold and would lose only 200 more chips than you did in the hand. However what is more likely is I take down the blinds there and then.

Each to their own, far too agressive for me I think.
