if you cap every betting round...fold to river bet?

[|~|ypermegachi]

i think this was very interesting. this hand was contested 3 way, i wasn't part of it. but basically, i'm pretty sure one of them had AKs. preflop was capped. the flop gives them the flush draw. they cap, while the other 2 people cap with him. turn, same thing.

the river comes and doesn't complete the flush, no A or K on the board. now the pot is about 40BB now. you have nothing except A high. you are against 2 opponents that likely have at least 2 pair or a set. you are second to act, and you are bet into. do you call or fold?

you are getting 40 to 1 to call, but you almost know you'll lose because both of them wouldn't cap all streets with crap. but still, you only need to win roughly 2% of the time in all situations like this to be profitable...

the guy folded. would you make the crying call? or fold because you're pretty much 99.9% sure you're beaten?

Call as an information gain.

2 other people are still in the hand. Won't information be gained and you'd still save a big bet? It seems to me like you should fold if you know you're beat. Save the 2 bucks

Fold since you're not closing the action. Sounds like it might be going multiple bets on the river.

If you close the action, call.

This reminds me of a hand I played.
