Hero folds!!!!!!!!!!!
Now this might seem crazy to you, but let me explain my logic for folding: I'm pretty much 100% sure that the villain has Ax here, so I never expect to win this pot outright.
The best I can hope for is a split pot if my opponent has Ax.
The worst: I can actually lose this entire pot if my opponent has Axss and the river is another spade!
Now let's look at rake: max rake paid at 10NL is $1.50, which will be the case if I call here. The pot size that is being shoved over is: [my 34 cents] + [his 34 cents] + [65 cents from previous streets] - [$1.50 rake] = NEGATIVE $0.17
So we're literally fighting for a negative pot here! If I fold, I lose nothing beyond what's already in the pot. If I call and pay rake, I'm losing a further 17 cents!
So basically: best case scenario is I call and lose $0.17, worse case scenario is I call and lose $27.86. Either way I lose, mainly because of rake, but also because of the slight (but possible) chance that I'll be outdrawn to a flush.
So do you think that folding the nuts is correct here?
