If you thought some1 had the sraight its a good fold.

Just run the cards through a calculator and u had 19.26% to win.

The pot was never gonig to offer these odds- Good fold

You were 3rd favourite on the flop... so you read the situation right when money went in:

You had 19% equity.
J10 had 45% equity.
6 5 was 0.122%...

10 5 had 35%.

fold or raise pre

I think the flop fold is fine, bottom two is not going to have great equity here after that action in a limped pot

Batkin88

if you raise pre you would win this hand as you show aggression and more than likely get to the turn. Limping with these hands early is bad not so bad if making up the blinds. If one of the blinds raise are you calling? if so why are you not raising yourself

Dudeskin8

Easy raise or fold pre, why would you ever open limp ?

liamboi11

with poker you have to get maximum from your strong hands and lose the minimum when you dont so you done exactly that wp gd fold

dont get the limp pre.  May aswell juice up the pot, for when we get the flop we want.  Picking it up when no one else wants it, being left to c/f much of the time otherwise, unless committing to fire as standard.

If I feel there will be flats behind I MAY peel off a card on flop.  But if their tendancy is to 4bet then yeah I auto muck.
