folding queens on the flop


Recommended Posts

PokerRoom .25/.5.Hero dealt Q :club: Q:diamond: in UTG+1*** Pre-Flop *** :UTG folds, Hero raises, UTG+2 folds, MP 3-bets, MP+1 caps, MP+2 folds, CO folds, Button calls, SB folds, BB folds, Hero calls, MP callsCapped preflop. Interesting. I have 0 reads on anyone--only my 4th hand at the table, and I haven't noticed anything unusual about these guys.*** Flop *** : 8 :D 3:heart: 2 :D (16 SB)Hero bets, MP raises, MP+1 3-bets, Button caps, Hero folds.Perfect flop for me, but I've got to be up against aces or kings, right? Either way, I don't think I can call 8 big bets trying to find out. The right move here, or am I giving PR's lowest limit players too much credit? What if I had position? What if the button above wasn't present?

i was in a similar situation on Party with queens.and i did just that, i folded..only to get really T.O.ed when this jackhole turns over ace high to win the pot after capping till the river with one other player in the hand.

Just a question how will you be calling eight more big bets. Presumably if you called the flop, you would check call the river and the turn. So you would only have to call a max of 4 big bets, not saying you should call, but just saying. I think this is a tough fold, but in .25/.5 limit there are too many hands they could be playing so strongly. I had a similar situation before where a guy capped preflop with a10 suited, and kept capping all the way and my Queens were good, just shows how some fish play like idiots, so while thats an easy fold in a good game, I am not sure in this situation

If I check/call and the other guys cap, that'll be 4 big bets on the turn and 4 on the river, for a total of 8

I agree, you are at least looking at 6 more bets with the turn most likely capped. You are drawing to two outs here, so nice fold.

If it was like 30/60 and you had tight reads on the raisers, then sure, muck it. But it's 0.25/0.5. If someone has A8 they will never stop raising on that flop, that's an EASY call. I honestly think that if one of them has AA KK 88 22 or 33 then shucks oh well .. but it's so worth all calls, and in fact I'd think you should lead out on turn. You're winning ALOT of the time here.

You're giving the low limit players at PR WAAAAY too much credit. 10s would do this. JJ would do this. AK would do this. A8 too. You might be beat, but more likely you're not.
