What would you do?

[xatus]

im sure he has nothing on his hand, he just bet 400 hoping the others fold because they checked all before. WHAT would you do in this situation? to call?

Thanks!

[BigA1]

Fold, because I have nothing in my hand either. He could be bluffing with a Jack/Three and still beat me.

[ForestKing]

Yeah you always have to remember that maybe your opponent's nothing is more than you're nothing.

[ChineseIrish]

fold.your pockets are beatable,you only have an outside chance of a straight or flush.its better to do this IMO

[OP66fozzy]

Depends how the other player had been playing before that hand and how the bets on that hand had gone, can't comment from that single screenshot.

[xatus]

hmm ok. Thanks for giving me advices. Was really helpful

[RobbieLePop]

Simple answer; fold.

More complicated answer; If you know the table and he is loose, try a small re-raise. If he's not got em, he'll fold. If he does, consider folding at the next opportunity.

He might have two spades, which would not only beat your straight if he managed it, it also has more chance of occuring. You don't know, so don't do anything stupid!

its a nothing pot, all you've got in it so far are the blinds and his little 400 bet. its not the best opportunity for you to make a move.

i disagree about making a "small" reraise as suggested above, if you are going to make a move on him in this spot (and im not saying you should) he either has the nuts and is calling whatever you bet, or, as you suspect, is bluffing. an agressive reraise will do one of two things, either lose you more money, or frighten him off the hand. but whatever happens, at least you will know where you are at. i dont like the "small reraise" because to me it looks like a weak play, if you do that, and he thinks like i do, then he might raise you again, and then you really are out of options.

but like i say, its a nothing pot, so why bother?

be lucky mate

exactly...his bluff may still be better than your hand that wouldn't normally be a bluff

[griceyt]

u both have nothing
u have a slim chance of flush but he could have a 10 5 and still beat u
so id fold

depends how much gamble you've got doesnt it. you can try playing on big cards only if you like. good luck.

straights and flushes are real money makers, of course you've got to try to draw to them. just make sure that if you are drawing, that you are drawing to the highest possible straight or flush thats out there.

[N0onethere]

i dont know the guy but if hes the eager type the guy who bets alot because he has the money i would re raise him all in if hes the guy that dosnt play that much hands and just sits and hopes for a good card i would fold

[firecutting]

I'd call looking at the chips counts

[ipg66]

i would fold

[colling_wood]

if you was playing me fold

[Dada_Dali]

I would not have seen the flop with this hand.
