I think you’re actually ahead a decent amount of the time here. The problem is that the cost for finding out where you’re at is just too great – so, when you’re right, you win a few thousand, and when you’re wrong, you lose a big chunk of your stack. Even if you’re ahead half of the time here you’re not going to be able to show a profit with a 3 bet.

What actually happened: You folded.

I can’t fold with so tempting odds. I call and evaluate after the turn. I’m in early position and he could likely put me on AK. Let’s see if he fires again.

Easy fold, due to the stack size and the unworthy risk of drooping to at least half stack inveting on this tricky hand.

9/10 hes gonna fire the turn if u call and your gonna have to fold anyway..save some chips and fold now

If this was rainbow I think you could safely shove, crazy as it sounds, as trips would be too strong to check raise on a dry flop and top pair (if opp holds it at all as is loose) should fold. As it is you just have to let this one go.

I minraise him and wait for his reaction;if he 4 bets i instafold,if he calls and fires on the turn I most likely give up;on the contrary if is checked to me I fire myself about a fourth of the pot regardless if a spade hits.

It could be a semi-bluff with the flush draw, but are you willing to call two more bets to find out? Even if you’re ahead now your opponent might improve with any overcard to your eights. Fold.

I voted fold. Like most others who voted the same (and Staff), I’m not prepared to call on the turn especially with the likelihood of another overcard arriving. His range is wide and while hero may be ahead, too costly to find out. Good stack to play, fold and continue on.

We have to call 1560$ which is a tenth of our stack. I think it’s a good investemente because
- sometimes he semibluffed with a flush draw and will give up
- sometimes he bluffed with nothing and will give up
- if he fires again on the turn it’s ok because it helps to create an image that we are prone to give up on the turn…but next time we’ll have a big hand!
If we fold in this spot we have to be ready to be pushed around in the next orbits.

K – good points. There is not a good read on the villain’s post-flop play. There are many turn cards that could hit which the hero would not be able to call. Therefore, I’m not certain if calling the r-r does anything for our image if we are likely to fold to another round on the turn anyway. Could be read as weak or prudent.

you dont know where you stand. the only way to find out is to reraise now. if he shoves you fold and lose a lot of your stack, if he folds, you guessed right and he was bluffing. he could also fold you out by recklessing putting the money in on a draw because you have to figure youre beat at that point. even if you put the money in, youre most likely drawing to 2 outs, with a slight chance of being a 2 to 1 favorite. you have relatively little invested, is it worth it to get neck deep in this hand? i voted no….fold.

As much as I’d love to three bet this spot I have to agree that its not a +EV play. Winning this one pot and the satisfaction of being right wouldn’t be worth the donkness of being on the wrong end of a big pot. Let the villian think he’s pushing us around for this round because the next time we’ll have the goods.
