So me and a friend had a disagreement about whether it is ever okay to fold to a min raise on the river. I said it was okay-he said it wasn't.
The question arose while we were railing the double deuce with about 56 people left to go. 3 players saw the river, and the first to act bet out (I believe min), 2nd to act minraised, third to act folded, and the original raiser folded. The original better was getting about 10:1 on his money. I said it was a good fold since the minraise is usually a "please pay me you're priced in" style raise. The min raiser showed 44 on a 2 4 8 9 Q rainbow board. I have seen 1 min raise bluff, which happened to be successful in the last year or so.
After the disagreement, while my friend was tabling .02/.05 omaha high, he was minraised on the river, and the villain showed the nuts. At other tables a few seconds later I saw another min raise pre and the villain showed KK after the original raiser folded.
I feel especially in low limit games when u get minraised the villain is trying to get more money but is scared a larger raise will price you out.
On the contrary if you are right just 1 in 10 times (say even with A high), this call is profitable.
So is it okay to fold (getting 10:1) to a minraise?
P.S.-I know my friend will comment on this blog with strong opposition to ever folding gettting 10:1 even thought you're obv beat :laugh:
