Disconnect Protect imo.


Heh no seriously, i think it's an OK fold. Has villain seen you doing these loose aggressive pre flop raises with junk prior to this? He tried to slowplay the flop but just gave a free card then made a really small bet and a reraise on the turn...looks like 66 or 77 to me.

Smells like a weird straight, but why is he min-blasting?
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

If this was $25 I'd have guessed AT. But it isn't, so...

I think that was a good fold with no read. One other question: is 7To a hand you play that often, with big raises?

I mean granted you are in LP, but an unsuited, two gapper? I am not being critical, just trying to learn a bit.

Were you working a LAG angle with a plan to tighten up?

Did you play it because they folded to you?

When playing aggressive positional poker, it really doesn't matter much what your cards are. It helps to have hands that have some speculative value, but I just figured I had two live cards relative to hands that would call a raise and decided to represent a hand. The reason being that if I made a pair or three of a kind, I wouldn't have to worry much about kicker problems.

I didn't really plan on tightening up because the players at these tables are predominantly weak/tight, and don't seem to adapt much to their opponents styles.

 I like your fold, unless he's overvaluing some hand it's the correct move.
