Might Have Folded the Turn

Hello,

I played a $69+6 Double Stack online tournament with 3k starting chips just the other night. At some point, I just found myself in the BB with KK. By the way, blinds were 50-100.

There were three players left, player A, player B, and me. Back then, I had 4.9k, player A who was the small blind had 13k and player B who was in the second position had 5.6k.

At near mid-part, player B was leading with a 350 raise, player A called, while I raised to 700. Eventually, two players called. Flop came and was 8-3-t rainbow. I then placed a bet 1800. Two Players again called. Later, I just found myself bothered thinking of the set of 10s. In the end, I just decided to call due to some factors/reasons like the poor possibility that a certain player has a straight, the chance that I might lose to a set, etc.

Afterwards, player B pushed through while player A called. I remember player B had JJ and player A had 88. Quite surprisingly, I ended being the chip leader therefore I knew then that I’ve made justice to the hand. However, I’m wondering if you were on my shoes, could you have folded the turn? How about in a cash game?

Thanks!

Berner,

If I really thought I was behind to a set of 10’s on the flop or if there was an all-in and a call before me on the turn, I would think my A’s were no good. I would have folded too. Probably would have done the same in a cash game too. Although, I would have probably reraised on the flop.

Was it a Mistake to Fold?

Hello,

I played NL $5.0 yesterday. Blinds were 10/20 and in early position I was dealt JJ. Later part, I
raised 80 while player to my left side called. Then, player on button re-raised to 140 and so I called. Once again, player to my left called. Flop came and was AA9. I then checked and the player to my left raised 100. Player on button called and I then folded. Turn came and was a J. River followed and was a 6. At such point, player to my left had 77 while player on button had 1010.

Do you think it was a mistake to fold? Please, I need to hear from you.

Thanks!

Ian,

I don’t think it was a mistake to fold. You raised and was reraised preflop. Then two aces hit the flop. I would have given one of them credit for A-K, A-Q or A-J, especially the person that just called both raises.

You would have won if you stayed in, but there was also a high chance you would have been busted out of the event. Early in a tournament, that was a wise move.
