To get value from an A or a FD. Maybe a weaker pair.


I would prob check turn re-evalute river. Either way we are not to happy here.

Oh, yo are quoting me. What an honor!
Yeah, I do think that not betting this would be a crime. Instead you would be betting 3x or air. That doesn't feel right.
For instance, when all of your pluss comboms vaborize to air..

As played, it's close, but a fold. I feel, but MMA may be otherwise. 😉


Turn is close to RX and flop the same


Pre is fine, flop and turn is fine although you can x flop to protect your checking range and you can size down or x turn to either protect your checking range or to force them to continue wider in general.

Don’t play RnC though there’s a lot of…… problems there.

As in... of the digital and non sentient variety ?


I don't believe you can raise but folding would be weird, they might be ambitious enough to raise a worse 2-pair or they could be bluffing (low probability I agree with you, but not 0 though). And the price is fair.


I mean: Isn't this hand very wrong to protect our checking range with?
We could do it with like 55, 20-30%. It's not that in either of our ranges' are a lot of 2s.


Folding very exploitable. Good place for villain to turn PPs or weak Ax to bluff?
