In answer to your actual question, if a particular player was to call a 5X raise being 1st to act on later streets then NO i don't think there is much chance at all that they are going to fold a hand that has hit the flop twice. He most probably believed he was miles in front on the turn while putting in his money anyway (hence the insta-call). It wasn't bad play by you just horrible river.

Guru's obviously the table police where he plays. There's always one that likes to tell everyone what's wrong with there play and thinks because a person loses the pot he must of made a mistake.
Doyle States, "It's not about winning or losing, it's about making correct decisions."
Anytime you get all your money in with the best on the turn it's the right decision.

So I got some Northerner playing at a casino with me and he thinks he's a yankee with a purpose. Well, anyhoo, I pick up Q10 on the button in an 8 hand game. All folds but one call (3/6 no limit blinds). So, anyway, I pop it to 30 hoping just to scoop and run. Small blind calls, big blind folds, original caller calls. We got ourselves a big ol' pot brewin'.

Flop: 9/J/2 rainbow
Betting: 1st player leads out with 40, second guy folds, I call

Turn: K, completes the rainbow (and my straight)
Betting: 1st player leads out with 240, I push all in for 800. He insta-calls.

River: J

He turns over J's full of 9's. Did I ever stand a chance of him foldin' or was he gonna stay on the rope for all the time?


Is it big difference in skill level on NL 100 compeared to NL 600 6max ?

Thanks for the insight, fellas. Yeah I know the result of the hand wasn't important. I was just wondering if y'all thought there was somethin' more I coulda done to get the yank to fold. I s'pose I was dead before the flop hit with that guy.​

if he's loose enough to call a $30 pf raise with J9, then he sure as hell is gonna take it to the river when he flops top 2 pr IMO, just a crappy spot to be in there man, very tuff hand, better luck to ya

btw remember that you dont want him to fold his 2pr when you have a straight, you want to get him to put in as much money as possible, because you will profit hugely in the long run (read: the one that matters)
