sometimes you just gotta let it go!! youve been behind the entire hand and now your gunna raise? the hands you could be up against is so many im not even gunna insult every ones intelligence. this guy aint gunna fold to your raise! you are beat! give it up! by the way. getting 6-1 or 8-1 or what ever you want to call it doesnt matter a bit if you are on a loser. would you play 7-2 off suit if i gave you 10-1? of course not! pot odds have to take into account your hand value and what your opponent might be on.

My choice was fold, because i don`t think if my tigh opponent migh fire another bullet with nothing. Its likely to me that he has something like overpair with daimond, but i am going wanish if he has flush or set...

I folded as well. The sb could have been making a play, however to then fire twice afterwards would tend to mean strength from a tight table.

ok first after my failed attempt to steal the blinds, I would not have called after the flop, and after he raised the turn I would have folded.I with the reasoning calling with 13 outs maybe, but this is the way a donkey calls... I don't agree with any of these answers, I wish i was the SB that way I could take the chips from the person asking the question....

i say let it go...it's a setup play at best. u get caught trying to steal the blinds and get snagged on the flop and 4th street. when he fires at you on the river, you chalk it up to the SB defendes his stack. O.K., fine. And the next time you wake up with a monster on the button, you can really disguise it by making your bet look like you're trying to steal again...and send him home.

Congratulations you chose the worst option of the three last night and look what it's got you... more garbage. Because you called on the flop you gained 0 information about your opponent and where he's at. Now he bets again on the turn (remember this is limit and the bet is doubled) and you STILL don't know where he's at in the hand. Worst now is that a third diamond has come off so for all you know you're already drawing dead. Out of calling, raising, or folding calling is again the absolute stupidest thing one could do... thankfully that answer was taken out. So for tonight the correct answer is raising.... wrong. What would you get from raising on the turn... with the way this TIGHT player is playing, I'm willing you'll be re-raised or at least called. The correct answer should be to fold. You don't chase weak draws that even if hit may already be beat especially after the turn. You tried to steal, that failed. You tried to hit an inside draw, that failed. There's no rush to beat anyone... take your time and wait for the RIGHT opportunity to win a hand and just get out. This is an easy fold... don't put your money in a pot when you're obviously behind, likely drawing to 4 cards or less, or even drawing dead.

hate to say it but i'd like to call in this situation...why wasn't that a choice....

Damn, I really don't understand this play. I sat back and said nothing about last nights answer but this is going tooooooo far.
How can you expect people to learn good poker if you are telling them to be donks. Damn you did not catch the SB is telling you you lost give it up my man.

I'm not raising, and the only other choice was fold.
