Hero folds - Am I getting run over here? Spade draw on the board against my 2 pair... Should I be making this call?
Final Pot: $10.80
UTG+1 wins $10.26
(Rake: $0.54)
hell no. I would never call that. Even if you ARE getting run over the price is just too high. 2 pair is a horrible hand. Horrible horrible horrible... All to often brutally over-played.

I check-fold the flop for this exact reason. Unless I hit a miracle 5, I could be put in a difficult spot if an Ace, J, 10 or 9 hits the turn and I bet through it. In this spot, you have the 3rd best combination of 2 pair meaning you only reasonably beat KQ, which I would expect to raise the flop or call the turn.
ReplyDeleteI understand your lead [often referred to as a donk lead] because you're basically just taking a stab at a flop to take down the pot. However, the type of hands I like to donk lead on are either pure bluffs or semi-bluffs.This makes decisions much easier. If I donk lead bluff, I'm trying to take down a pot against a tight or passive player. The purpose of my donk lead semi-bluff is to build a pot for the next two streets. If I get my donk lead semi-bluff raised, I'll have to evaluate whether I can control the pot vs. getting priced out.
However, I'm not approaching this type of spot as profitable in full ring NL, even against a LAG. I think you can find a much better spot.
