crankin 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 If you want to take it down now, a re-raise to about $3.5 or $4 will probably do it. If you get called, you're done barring turning two pair or trips. You could also easily lead out for close to the pot and take it down to begin with (depending on the calling habits of these players in-position). I wouldn't chastise you much for just folding either, as your hand really isn't likely to get any better. Link to post Share on other sites

The Nuts 0 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Checking the flop was a big mistake. Definitely should have lead out.Now, because there was no preflop raising, you can't narrow down what your opponents may have. Min bet doesn't say much either. The other players are just calling because of pot odds.Raise or fold here. If I raise, I have to believe that my hand will be able to be the best hand at showdown unimproved. This is micro-limits, so unless you raise all-in, then you'll get at least one caller and even then you may get more than one caller.Since you gave up control of the hand and you only have top pair/weak kicker that could easily be trumped on fourth and fifth street, I fold.
