Villain is a in general a tight player. UTG+1 limps UTG +2 limps hero from the button raises with AQo. Villain from the SB 3 bet. BB calls call call hero caps and calls around. Flop comes K95. villain bets with half a bet left behind. Folds around to hero. Hero tanks raises the remaining two chips to put villain all in but hero claims he had a read on the villain to make a case for folding. Can hero ever fold on this flop?

I never apply reads in limit holdem when someone starts the hand with so few chips.

If you're thinking about folding here, the preflop 4 bet might be a mistake.

I'm not folding anything on any flop in this spot, and if I was at the table hero's tank would probably annoy me a little.

When you're facing an all-in with no action left, you need to do 2 things. Calculate your pot odds. Determine if your hand has enough equity vs his range to call.

Do you know how to count your pot odds? Do you know how to approximate your equity?

Might say "almost", but agree. Dude has 5.5 small bets to start the hand. He's not happy about life. Most people don't play their normal game when that near the felt. Having put 4 of the 5.5 in preflop, his willingness to put in the last 1.5 in with a mountain in the middle isn't meaningful. The only way I'd read it would be that by donking he's facing the field with 2 potential bets rather than 1.5 by check/raising. Does he want fewer customers?
Pot is huge. We can figure equity, which is good. Fold? nah
Tank raises in limit? That's terrible. What read can you have? If it is good enough to fold, then there's no hand to discuss. Let's go back to making reads on guys who are nearly felted -- my read is that most of them don't play normal. I guess the read would have to be strongly that he's going home if he loses and he really doesn't want to go home.

Hero can not fold

Can just call though so he doesn't have to show first at showdown

Also wtf 3 other people folding for 1 bet.
