Have you ever folded a boat because you feared a quad when a trip was showing in the board in hold em?

Answer 1

Yup... it's a tough lay-down - but if you haven't got THAT much of your total stack in the pot, it's a safe move.

Answer 2

Absolutely! To be successful you must be willing to lay down what may feel like a great hand at times.

If there are three queens on the board and you have 33, sure you have a boat, but you are probably beat by anyone confident enough to bet (or call) here. Any pocket pair bigger than yours beats you as does a queen of course.

I love it when the board is something like 997-5-5 and some moron playing 56 (flopped a gutshot to idiot end of a straight) cries about losing with a full house when his opponent (who's been betting all the way) turns over A9.

It's imperative to understand the relative value of your hand. Here's an example of a time I folded a boat. This happened just a couple days ago and I related the story in an answer to a similar question:

Last night, heads-up at the end of a tourney, I'm holding 22 and the flop comes down 2-6-6. Gin! Opponent puts out a decent-sized bet, but not too big that he wouldn't expect me to call w/ ace-high. I call - setting the trap. (Note: I know this guy extremely well - 6s are his "lucky" cards and he likes to overbet a monster hand as he thinks others will think it's a bluff. So I'm confident he has a 6 and I'll take all his chips this hand.) Turn is another 6. OUCH! He bets all-in. I think for a minute, but fold. He shows K6.

In that situation, I flopped a heart attack, but (unfortunately) after the turn, the relative strength of my hand was nothing more than a pair of deuces.

Answer 3

Not against quads but I folded Kings over Aces because the guy raised when the last Ace hit the board(board was K A x K A) I just knew he had Aces over Kings

Answer 4

It depends on the boat, if you have something like pocket aces and there are three kings out there, it is a tough lay down. Although it is probably an even tougher lay down if three sevens were out there, because it is harder to believe that your opponent is playing 7X.

I remember playing in a tournament in Atlantic City one time, and I knew this guy had made quads, but I couldn't fold my boat. I doubt there are many people who would do something like that.

Answer 5

yeah... its not really that tough of a lay down really. Its rather easy to assume if someone has the quads. Usually if the flop holds two of their cards then they will check or just call. After the turn or river when their 4th card hits the board you will see them go all in. Their play seems very suspicious so it is probably the quads.

Answer 6

I have seen a player confidently fold a straight flush. There were two players in at the river in hold'em. Board showed KQJ10(hearts) and an offsuit 3. The first player bet, the second player raised with his straight flush and the first player re-raised. The player with the straight flush folded his hand face up.

Answer 7

i could in simple terms cleansing soap all of them up, provide all and sundry some pineapple juice, (mine could have some vodka in it) and do by way of fact the Brits to. that's lye back and think of of england. I advise seem in any respect the instruction those boys could study out of your spouse*. i do no longer think of it fairly is going to rely what she wears reason she seems warm in something. so which you the two shack up at the same time for 3 days or come across what the vessel has to grant. perhaps you're able to easily take the incredibly some ruffes that Maureen replaced into speaking approximately and it is normally over in the previous you already realize it. we can attempt to precise mail Hattie for you, Im confident some one in the technology area has something that could return and forth swifter then Fed Ex or UPS.

Answer 8

That would entirely depend on how the betting went up to that point. (oh, and are we talking about a trip on the flop, after the turn, or on the river?)

For me, learning to read the opponent is the hardest part of the game. The stats are easy.

Answer 9

Try this talk trash make a big bet and claim that you have a Qaud and see if that works in any case I wold have to be Dam sure that there is a Qaud and just hard betting would do it this might win you Bad beat of the day bounus

Answer 10

I have never had a full boat and wouldn't fold for a trip.

Answer 11

IVE FOLDED A SMALLER BOAT BEFORE. I HAD J 10 AND FLOP CAME 10 10 A. HE BET I RAISED HE CALLED. TURN BRICKED A 3. HE BET,I CALLED. RIVER BROUGHT ANOTHER ACE. HE MOVED ALL IN AND HAD ME COVERED. I THOUGHT ABOUT IT THEN LAID IT DOWN. HE SHOWED ME THE ACE KING HE HAD.
