1. Full house with only one pair on the board?

2. Top 2 pair on a board where top set is the nuts?

3. Any flush on a board with no pair or 4 to a flush?

4. Set on a board with no flush or 4 to a straight?

No. 3 and 4 are obviously easier comparatively but amazingly I don't remember folding them myself. I mean I may sometimes become defensive in those situations but its really very difficult to fold. Maybe I did fold no. 4 and don't remember it but certainly never folded the top 3.

If the range I have them assigned to beats my hand, then yes, it doesn't matter how strong my hand I am prepared to make tough laydowns.

Multiple times pre-flop haha.

I think 1 is a very very hard laydown. Holding QJ and hitting JJQ flop and the other guy pushing in front. Just hard to see him holding QQ at times. Very very hard one to do. I have been on the losing end of this one a few times.

3 for me could be an easy fold if I played mid suited connectors to hit my flush especially if I have a big bet in front of me. It would just smell like a better flush to me.

I don't think i'd ever reach a point in my poker playing career where I could fold a flop like that, I mean that's just the ultimate cooler.. right? :p

Definitely the ultimate cooler for sure. My biggest hand I've won online I had KTs flopped KTT and checked the flop turn was a 7. Other guy pushes I call. He flips 77. Boat over boat situation. Just happened to be in my favor. I can't see the guy folding in that situation. Just so difficult with a hand like that.

That isn't as bad as the QQvsQJ one but yeah getting away from a boat in general is super tough!

These questions cannot be accurately answered without further information. Stack sizes, position, your opponent's range, history with your opponent, table dynamic, and your table image are all variables that need to be taken into consideration before i could even begin to say whether i would fold in any of these spots you have listed.

I guess here is the best place where i can post this hand....folding straight to bigger straight is the nuts

:cool:

He is a pro from my country

Unreal read in a heads up match wow. I think I agree with the commentators in this one though, except for maybe the part about folding for the wrong reasons.

1. No, its pretty hard to fold a full house with only one pair on the board i dont think i can fold in this spot unless i was playing against a tight player with jacks on a board like kkjaq and villain shoves all in on the river calling my previous bets.

2. Its very hard too fold top 2 pair where the nuts is set but i think its doable especially when someone checks raise on the flop or check calls, and then plays aggresive on turn and river you can expect villain to have a set, or maybe a semi bluff with a straight or flush draw.

3. Yes if you flush is weak and villain plays aggresive you have to consider folding, since its very possible that he has a better flush.

4. Yes if the board is like 910jq2 and you have qq, the set isnt a very strong hand because and 8 or king beats your hand. in flops like jqk23 if you have queens or kings then it would be hard to make a fold, however against tight players i might consider that option.

Well it can't be a 4 to a straight in my scenario so the first example you gave wasn't valid for the scenario. Its the second example you gave that I was talking about.

Why fold a hand when you can win. You must play till you win.

In Omaha, I've folded all of these relatively easily.

In Hold'em, I'm going to pay off the other guy if I'm holding these and I'm beat.

Well in Omaha folding 2, 3 and 4 is not a big deal at all.

Yeah, small full house. Had a feeling I was beat and let it go. Also have let two pair go with two others in the pot and one guy had a set.

1. Never dropped, but in a situation with a smaller full house got)
2. Yes, it was a couple of times, in the same situation I was at the table for a long time, studied the opponent, and my pass with AA was right, my opponent showed a set. Several times my opponents bluff))
3. Yes, if I have a weak flush.
4. Several times dropped, especially if the tournament was important for me. It all depends on the opponent.

I'm almost more interested in why they're using coasters to bet with.
