    Default Toughest fold I've made in a long time.

    Villain was 43/36/inf over like 30 hands.

    Whole hand is pretty tough,
    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (4 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    UTG ($1.91)
    Button ($0.49)
    SB ($6.76)
    Hero (BB) ($7.22)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 6, Q
    UTG calls $0.02, 1 fold, SB bets $0.06, Hero calls $0.04, UTG calls $0.04

    Flop: ($0.18) 5, 2, 3 (3 players)
    SB bets $0.12, Hero calls $0.12, 1 fold

    Turn: ($0.42) Q (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $0.30, SB calls $0.30

    River: ($1.02) 4 (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $0.66, SB raises to $6.28 (All-In), Hero folds

    Total pot: $2.34 | Rake: $0.10

    Hmm, I normally think river is a good b/f spot, but in this case theres some chance he thinks his wheel is good. Its really close. I might lean towards a call because his stats seem to indicate he's very aggressive.
    Just dipping my toes back in.

    in ur accounts... confiscating ur funz
    4-handed those stats aren't that spectacular... and over such a small sample size, it doesn't mean anything anyway.
    Also I would be more concerned with the limper who's coming along 99% of the time, and you'll have to play a horrible hand oop.

    The right strategy against someone who opens 30% is definitely not to call him with 100%, then float the flop with Q high.
    Seriously... wtf

    b/f river looks fine though

    why fold pre?

    we have position on the SB, and we don't care whether UTG folds or calls
    if he calls we have a 3 way flop with a suited hands, if he folds we're in position vs. a loose player with a playable hand
