How tight are the micros?

Should you fold aces with a draw to the nut flush on the turn? Or should you rather go all-in? Join our discussion whether to fold a strong hand like this on the turn!

Do you consider folding the turn to be the best play?

Hero is facing a tough decision on the turn when Villain raises his value bet with pocket aces. After being raised Hero considers himself to be either way ahead or way behind.

Who do you think is right?

Since the typical opponent on the micro stakes is almost always holding a set or a flush I will fold. Furthermore I don't have any implied odds on my flush draw.

FOLD

I'm going to call in this spot because you never know which hands your opponents on the micro stakes might play like this. If I hit my flush draw on the river, I'll go all-in and expect to get called by worse hands.
CALL
A raise is the only option in this spot. Villain will all too often try to win the pot with a single Jack. If I hit my flush draw on the river, Villain will fold KJ or similar hands.

RAISE all-in

Ich folde hier, weil ein Gegner auf den Micros hier immer ein Set oder Flush hat. Auf meinen Flush habe ich auch keine implied Odds.
