[SH] The Baluga Theorem

Poker Stars $5.00 No Limit Hold'em - 4 players

SB: $5.65 - VPIP: 46, PFR: 38, 3B: 33, AF: 2.0, Hands: 13
BB: $5.05
CO: $5.00
Hero (BTN): $10.37

Pre Flop: ($0.07) Hero is BTN with Q♥ K♥
1 fold, Hero raises to $0.12, SB calls $0.10, 1 fold

Flop: ($0.29) 6♦ 9♠ Q♣ (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.18, SB calls $0.18

Turn: ($0.65) 2♠ (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.41, SB raises to $1.14, Hero folds

Is it still a popular play to fold here?

Should I be worried that someone can decide to exploit it and check-raise me every turn, or no one would be doing such a thing?

wp dont worry about it. low limits turn checkraise frequencies are super low, and if some nemesis reg shows up and starts turn check/raising everyone with this "leak" his frequency should get high enough for you to wanna start defending

I think it's standard fold. Most people don't try to exploit you this way on micros

Following the famous Balluga Theorem we must fold here. As the guys mentioned turn xr is mostly mostly mostly value on small limits.

I wouldn't fold with 2 fds and a straight draw out there and blocking none of it

min 3bet - stackoff - suckout - highfive players beside you - tip the dealer - tell viallian you knew it was coming - cashout - play roulette where the true skill game is

but srsly, good fold.

@jules where did you see 2 flush draws??
