Hi guys.

This is a hand that was shown on mastercash last night and it has bugged me all night long after hearing Carlos comments saying that im losing value by folding in this spot in the long run.

If it had been a tourny i would be jamming here everytime but in a cash game i think the play is to fold here.

I respect Carlos views and know without doubt he is a very good player but as we all know "nobody is right all the time" and the more i thought about the hand my thinking is that i am saving cash in this situaton in the long run and not losing it.

Just wanted to throw it over to the players on here to find out their views on the hand and to get a majority rule.

TYIA Jenny.

    I watched the hand live and saw she had 7 8 (hearts) and think she played it really bad, i think you made a tough fold but a good fold, and your stack kept growing over the night so shows you were obviously playing right, good game

    I dont know result, but i assume you were winning Jenny.

    Regardless, i think it is a fold readless because its very unusual for a 4 bet on the flop to be worse than your hand, unless the villain is overvaluing a hand or is a complete idiot.

    Good luck on the tables.

    Yea i think its a fold over time their repping a set or AK spades. Both your a dog to. Although in some situations i will call if i have reads. Clearly our opponent from above comment i know their hand so clearly our opponent is over valuing TPBK.

    I think when he raises you, you should think straight away am I going all the way here or not.

    To then raise again means you want to get it in so to fold after 3betting on flop is pretty bad as you're raising for information and that should NEVER happen.

    Totally dont understand the raising for info "should never happen" part of your reply post dudeskin becase i think if anything raising for info "SHOULD" happen here and after he 4 bets over the 3 bet i would be folding everytime here.

    Most of the time QQ is beating very little after these betting patterns and the times it is beating your opponant should mean he is by far a worse player than you 99% of the time and he will be doing his cash in later hands anyways.

    Fold and wait for better spot SIMPLZZZZZ

    Ideally, but they are quite deep, and the 3 bet can be seen as a raise for value rather than for information imo.

    The 3 bet does not mean we must stack off imo. The villain may or may not know what a 3 bet normally means! we are readless i believe.

    I would prob flat rather than 3 bet personally. But as played, i think it was the correct fold.

    I'll admit I don't have massive experiance in the area as the level I play at QQ on that board is the nuts lol but at levels where bluffing is more common I think it's better to let the guy keep bluffing on future streets.

    Raise folding 29 bb's doesn't feel right to me somehow.

    If it's a raise for value then doesn't that mean the hero thinks they have the best hand and hence prepared to get it in or am I confusing raising for value ?

    We are betting because we believe our QQ should be ahead here (betting for value) But, when the strong 4 bet comes in, why cant we change our mind?

    I know that people say you should never 3 bet fold in spots like this. But maybe on this occasion we are deep enough to justify it.?

    I imagine i will be told im wrong and that 3 bet folding here is evil.

    I can't see how many big blinds she has but anyway I think like you said earlier flatting is the best option then folding followed by raising.

    Remember Jenny only has 1 pair here and i think the 3 bet was to get more info and not for value as someone might have said. With that in mind what more info could she get than a 4 bet up to £30 or so and then the QQ dosnt look very big at all.

    Fold move on imo :)

    Carlo was swayed by seeing the cards.

    fwiw heres what I wrote in the show thread

    one of the biggest problems that people face in poker is folding overpairs to the board.

    you made a great fold that given the action would be correct a large amount of the time. 

    don't be results orientated.  espeically as the guy didn't outplay you.  he overplayed his hand.  the villain int eh hand with 78 on a 7 5 3 (I think) board made a bet that was never gonna get called by a worse hand.

    if he had made the same bet with say K9 on a 753 then you can say that he outplayed you but on that kinda board with his hand, then in the long run he will be outplaying himself but totally unaware of it

    Not sure I like to 3-bet/fold the flop, if i 3-bet i'm 5-bet shoving a 4-bet

    I'd probz call and re-evaluate the turn, I don't mind the fold, probz -EV in long term though. 
    If a straightening/flushing card comes on turn he's likely to get scared aswell and action will slow down, but don't think i like folding that weakly to an unknown opponent at low limits. But like i said, it isn't the worst play. 

    This is the sort of hand where most options are available, 3-bet folding is weak but acceptable(ish), 3-betting with the intention of getting it in is fine, and flatting to re-evaluate the turn is also fine!

    I can't fold here, scared poker if you think the guy always has a set.
    If you soul read it for a set then hey wp

    Most of the time he will be showing you 10's, J's or  2 overs and FD.
    So you could say he would be more likey to show up with a hand your beating than a hand you not.

    AA/KK very possible but action pre does not indicate this, AK spades more likely or scared mid pr.

    Also gotta say when you bet the flop and he raises you and then you fire back, here you just can't fold.
    Raising here for information is very bad imo, better off just to flat and see what comes on the turn.
    If your always doing "raising for info" then players will pick up on this and make moves against you with air.
    So he could have nothing :s
    Also I don't think you raise is big enough when you fire back, he probably see this as weak and made a move

    your either drawing to 2 outs or in front of AKs with two card to come if turn is a spade your dead to 1 out as the Qs will be no good fold IMO and next hand.

    If villain is competent Im not that happy getting 220BBs in with QQ on this board

    Imo flat the flop raise. I hate 3bet/fold because for it to be good we need to know he calls often with worse but only raises with better. This is not realistic against an unknown (or most players) so Im either flatting flop or raising with the intention of getting it in
