NL10 KcQd

Versus very passive trappy, nitreg.
I know nitregs can do weird and wonerful things, but apart form the nut flush draw I cant see less than a set raising here and maybe not even the draw. What made my spidey senses go off was that most ppl were slowplaying big hands.

So, fold or call? Seems villain could have plenty going for them so that I won't like too many turn cards?

Thanks.

Normally I would be calling but against the player type you mentioned I don't hate an exploitable fold. We are not going to love any turn card asides from a Q or K that's a non-heart and will most likely fold to a 2nd barrel.

People are probably noticing now that I always lean towards exploitative folds versus flop raises. Even if you have a profitable call on the flop and turn it's super thin in the micros.

If you're right then you make a tiny bit of EV because he won't be doing it very often, if you're wrong and he only raises sets you're losing a shitload.

@Turlock and @Harvie yes, fair enough I think. MY biggest problem wih these situations is it just feels very uncomfortable, so I usually go with the fold as well, as I did here.
My play doesn't have a lot to do with ev though, just my wotsits shrink when it happens. Blush

Thanks.

I had a similar situation not too long back where I posted an AA hand vs this type of play, and i'm really keeping it in mind that making the exploitable folds is possible gonna be something that'll work out well here in the long run. So nice fold, but yeah especially vs these guys lately I'm thinking I've learnt some valuable lessons!

Also we're gonna be facing more action and vs a 'nitreg' we're never gonna be comfortable on further streets.
