Now bad player thinks and calls the $50! arrrgh. I figure one has to have a Jack so I folded as a $100 turn bet was likely coming as well. Turn is Ace, now they both check. River is 5 and they both check again. BB says "I missed" and bad player shows KQ for a busted gutshot and wins with king high. $152 pot. Was I crazy to fold the flop?
For just 50 I can find a call on the flop and see what happens. If you dont have a read that they are real splashy I dont think a fold is bad. But with your read I would definitely call. That being said I dont think your fold is a really bad mistake by any means.
