    Default FR Bad sizing and nitty fold??

    First hand at table no reads on villain. 10nl FR at FTP

    $0.05/$0.10 Ante $0.02 No Limit Holdem
    6 Players
    Hand Conversion Powered by weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    UTG SlickerWilly ($15.08)
    UTG+1 CPCHANG ($11.86)
    CO lethalhoogie ($27.93)
    BTN ErikVegas ($8.68)
    SB Hero ($10)
    BB Deep River 2 ($13.44)

    Pre-Flop: ($0.27, 6 players) Hero is SB
    SlickerWilly calls $0.10, 2 folds, ErikVegas checks, Hero raises to $0.60, 1 fold, SlickerWilly calls $0.50, ErikVegas calls $0.50

    Probably could have made it .70 with the antes but that's alright.

    Flop: ($1.92, 3 players)
    Hero bets $1.20, SlickerWilly folds, ErikVegas calls $1.20

    I bet 1.20 instead of ~1.70 because there's no flush draw and I wanted hands like 67s and 89s to call w midpair or a gutshot. I think there's probably more value in making it 1.70 and getting +.50 out of all the QJ QT Q9s.

    Than again, 77-JJ might call the 1.20, so idk really it's also 3-way. Curious as to what you guys think.

    Turn: ($4.32, 2 players)
    Hero bets $2.50, ErikVegas goes all-in $6.86, Hero folds

    The only reason for this sizing was to allow myself to fold to a ship, 89s and 67s got there, and there's also slowplayed 55 and 66. Hard to imagine what hand I beat he does this with that isn't a bluff... I don't think he has any flush draws.

    Final Pot: $13.68

    ErikVegas wins $13.16 (net +$4.58)

    SlickerWilly lost $0.62
    Hero lost $4.32

    Okay? Thanks ahead of time for the insight.

    You only need 18% equity to call on the turn so I think a fold is too nitty. Why do you think "he never has a flushdraw" here? He wouldn't be shoving it? I agree he probably never has a random JTs flushdraw or something but a combo or at least Ax suited that floated is possible. He sometimes will be shoving this turn with KQ, QJ as well. I agree you are usually behind here but most of the money is already in the pot so you can't fold anymore.
