Should I have folded this???
Hey all,
I was playing a $200 8-Game Mix COOP event on Pokerstars. I ended up folding my hand in a big 3 way pot during the stud round. I must acknowledge that my stud game is fairly weak relative to the other games and I don't have a tonne of experience with it. I am wondering what you guys would have done in my situation and if I should have stayed in the hand.
Dead cards are Q♣, K♦, 10♦.
Blinds are 10k/20k.
Villian 1 has 205k
Villain 2 has 83k
Hero has 210k
3rd Street
Villian 1 raises the bring-in with xxA♥
Hero reraises with A♦4♥A♠
Villian 2 four bet raises with xxJ♠
Villian 1 cold calls the 4 bet
Hero calls.
(At this point I'm wondering how the J reraises against TWO aces. He must have rolled up jacks right??? This is what I'm worried about. Then Villian 2 cold calls with A...hmm does have aces too?).
4th Street
Villian 1- xxA♥9♦ - Check
Hero - A♦4♥A♠5♣ - Check
Villian 2 - xxJ♠5♦ - Bet
Villian 1 and Hero call.
5th Street
Villian 1- xxA♥9♦10♠ - Check
Hero - A♦4♥A♠5♣8♥ - Check
Villian 2 - xxJ♠5♦10♣ - Bet
Villian 1 check raises.
Hero is facing a 40k raise with a stack of 170k stack.
(At this point I'm assuming Villian 1 caught aces up or trip 10s for him to check raise suddenly. I don't have any cards higher than a 10 to try and catch a better two pair. I'm worried about losing too many chips if I get to the river with the worst hand. I decide to fold my pair of aces.)
Villian 2 reraises all in for another 3k
Villian 1 calls.
6th Street they show their hands
Villian 1- 10♥J♣A♥9♦10♠Q♠
Villian 2 - 2♥J♦J♠5♦10♣6♠ (sorry the suit image isn't showing, I'm too tired to fiddle around with it)
7th Street
Villian 1 - 10♥J♣A♥9♦10♠Q♠3♥
Villian 2 - 2♥J♦J♠5♦10♣6♠K♥
Villian 2 wins a 221k pot with a pair of jacks. Had I won the hand I would have been top ten in chips. Not long after I ended up getting eliminated.
So Villian 2 reraised two aces on 3rd street with jacks and Villian 1 check raised on 5th street with just a pair of tens.
Was I wrong in assuming my aces were beat on 5th street and folding? I was shocked when I saw what my opponents hands were.
