Good fold. Its rare for him to bluff into 2 people. You might occasionally fold a better hand, but even if you aren't beating the initial better you have to worry about the guy behind you.

Also, this is .5/1 where passiveness reigns supreme.

Because I think we're behind like 85% of the time here. If the better is a chronic snower I could find a call, but there are no chronic snowers at these levels.

If he's standing pat, I don't trust the strength of my 8 and shitty kickers. He's gotta have at least an 8.

good fold
