HJ , CO : Folds
At this point I am ready to throw my cards into the muck, however I flip over my cards and show my opponents my holdings and I know SB does not have a King however a "scared" look from the big blind. CO induces me to call (which is realize should not have affected my decision) however I ended up calling after seriously thinking about mucking my hand.
SB shows AA, BB Shows AK, and Hero Button has dominated trips
My question is are my intentions to fold this flop considering the action in front of me a positive or negative EV when it comes to play hands like KX's on the button and flopping trips?
I pretty much narrowed down her range and figured I could not beat any value range and the board was so dry she just had to have it and it was an easy fold for me, but after seeing her reaction after flipping my two cards over while pondering what i was going to do she seemed as if she did not want me to call (obviously a false tell in hind sight)
What could I have done in this scenario? Pot was 60 pre flop and I pretty much flopped what I wanted but even at first thought I knew I could not beat any of her value hands unless some how she had K9 assuming K8 was not in her range of hands. Just seemed silly for me to have called off here but would this be a money saving tactic to fold on the button after flopping trips? Or am I losing money by not calling?
