Why call if it's impossible to win?That's just another dollar gone.

could anyone think of a hand that is correctly to fold here? just curious to see some examples. I would call if I had an overcard, any pair, and any club..maybe even gut-shot straight drawteneight

UTG is closing the action correct?

I'd probably still call, but I don't see a problem with folding in that situation if you have nothing.

You don't have to be.

yes. you do.you have to be more than 97.14% (34/35) sure that you're outright *drawing dead* to make folding correct.aseem

[teneight 1]

aseem is correct. 7-2 no club and 82 no club would also work hereonly 3 hands I wouldn't call with:7-2 no club8-2 no club9-2 no clubcan't think of anymoreteneight

Just so I'm clear on the math:35 to 1 means that you'll win one time for every 35 hands you lose. Shouldn't the percentage be 35/36= 97.2%, or do I have something wrong here?Sorry to be persnickety (thanx Allie )

you could have called causea)this gut was netally all in preflop. B) hes a short stack, most play wildly/badlyc)even if he had a raiseable hand, with a flop like that, most likely he missedoh and your 35 to 1, i's call 50 to one, just to give a "wild" imagesw

I guess there are probably situations in which the correct play is to fold getting those odds (although you'd have to be close to 100 percent sure you were drawing stone cold dead), but I would actually argue that in this particular situation no hand exists that's good enough to call three bets on the flop heads up and yet bad enough to fold on the turn getting 35-1 for your lone opponent's last dollar.

I have seen worse. I was playing against a maniac who folded $.40 into a ~$85 pot, after he bet $30 and I went all in for $30.40. :wink: -fop

I'd call with 2 uno cards just so I could see his hand.

I'd call with 2 uno cards just so I could see his hand.

I would call even with no cards, not just uno cards.Although one time I did acidentally hit fold on a 10/20 table when it was on 50 cents more to me in the BB with everyone limping (5 handed) and one guy raising all in for $10.50. The SB ended up flopping a fullhouse with 52, so it wouldn't have mattered, but maybe the guy just timed out or had computer problems, otherwise, there is NO CARDS you should fold here, ESPECIALLY cards that you have been calling or betting till here.

This is an automatic call with anything you hold for 2 reasons:#1. Your pot odds, duh!!#2. His pot odds, duh!!He's got a fucking buck left. He's throwing it in regardless who acts first, and if he's on A high and you spike a pair, this possibility alone makes calling correct. In summary, I call this with anything I hold, anything!
