Question
In a six-max game online, it's folded around to you on the button. You raise to $8 and the loose-passive player in the small blind calls. The big blind folds. The flop comes J
10
4
; the SB checks and you bet $12. He calls and the turn comes 3
. He checks; you bet $26. The river comes 9
and he bets $42.
What should you do?
Correct Answer: Call
Granted, the 9
is about the worst card you can pick from the deck to come on the river, but you can't fold. Your opponent's bet is laying you 3-1 and you’re ahead of two pairs and smaller sets. If he had bet full pot you might find a fold, but you can’t fold for this bet size.
