Not long at the table so no info. Should i be looking to fold here? I think i'm ahead, but its a draw heavy board. Dont think there any trips out there, poss AK or KJ. Should this be an easy fold or a call?

Any thoughts would be great.

Cheers

Mac

    Its a tricky spot after 4 have seen a flop.

    Was in very similar spot facing 120BB shove other day, Often I feel that these bets want to be called.  Opponent easily has 2pr, 1pr and draw, 10J, 2 spades.  So already behind, or drawing with no significant advantage.

    Alot of it depends on dynamic, how often opponent does this.  But I dont mind a fold here.  Only issue being you hold the nut spade and 2 of his outs when he holds 10J.

    I dont really like this spot so may nit fold, hoping opponent takes a similar line when I feel he has less potential equity.

    First of all the fact its a draw heavy board is more reason to call

    Cant see your stack size but looks like you are getting around 1.5/1 on the call. However been c/r 4way on this board is pretty strong, and you having As knocks out some of his possible drawing hands. Idk I think I sighcall as KK, QQ unlikely but I dont hate a fold , as amybr says you are rarely in very good shape. Also bet flop bigger

    just call and cross your fingers ) But not liking it much ...
    you have backdoor spades, outs to better set and 2 pr

    nit fold and he shows you draw :() or AK

    I can't fold this here

    outs a to a better set??.......

    I dont mind folding to some draws here, wouldnt be definitively bad.

    Dont think opponent would take this line with AK

    Raise smaller pre 3x is good.

    Bet more on flop, at least £1.50 for me.

    Looks like you have 80 bigs behind, I probably call this looks like draw played strong, if he has set just make note.
