I folded next to act,i did not want to show how the hand played out as i did not want this question to be results orientated.

    I think when this raise to £9 comes in he's only got £15 behind him ( as far as i can see) you either jam here or fold , its a fold for me xx

    I agree with debdobs, got to be a shove or fold and it's a fold for me too.

    Agree with the other two as I feel its jam or fold here

    He only has another £19 back and my hunch is if you jam then the other player folds so your implied odds don't amount to much.

    He has called your re-raise pre flop so likely holdings are AA,KK,QQ,JJ maybe AK but I presume you discount AK when he re-raises to £9

    On that reasoning then I think you need the straight to win the pot and you don't have the pot odds to call a gutshot draw with little implied odds so I fold like the others.

    I think you play it nicely and use your positional advantage to lose the minimum (because of the results oriented bit I presume a 9 came?)

    Hi Dave,

    well the 9 did actually come but i still would of lost

    the fella that raised it 9 hit 2 pair on flop,i did thing my raise pre was slightly too low,if i raise another 1.50 he would of been out of the way.

    still very glad that i folded because i would not of spotted the full house that he would of turned on me
