Villain is 13/6/3.4 over 241 hands

IPoker Network $2.00 No Limit Hold'em - 8 players - View hand 1429364

UTG: $4.60
Hero (UTG+1): $2.34
MP1: $9.76
MP2: $0.97
CO: $2.11
BTN: $6.85
SB: $4.95
BB: $0.92

Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero is UTG+1 with A :diamond: K :heart:
UTG raises to $0.07, Hero calls $0.07, 4 folds, SB calls $0.06, 1 fold

Flop: ($0.23) 4 :heart: J :spade: A :spade: (3 players)
SB checks, UTG bets $0.23, Hero folds, SB folds

I know it seems ridiculous to fold here, but here is my reasoning:

Preflop: After thinking about it, I decide not to 3bet because his PFR is only 6%, and EP PFR is 1%, although maybe I don't have enough of a sample. I think he is probably raising TT+, AQs+ so my plan is if the board comes A or K with no T/J/Q I can see what he does and act accordingly.

Flop: On the flop his bet just looks so strong betting so big into 2 people, and at this limit pot-bets are usually nuts, I decide to fold because I don't think he's betting so big with QQ, TT, maybe KK. Or I probably should've called and re-evaluate turn?

Or maybe I'm just a fish... :f_mad:

Hello jdnismo,

Rather fold it preflop if you are not even going to continue postflop. There ain't gonna be many hands what beat you anyways. JJ and AA? 6% PFR might even not open AJ from UTG.

Best regards.

It's not that I was planning to fold TPTK since the start, just his bet seemed so strong into 2 players...
