Should I have called mainly because this is limit? If this was NL, I have no problem folding here.

I would've check-called here, I'd be willing to risk 60 to see if he had one. You had good reason to fold to his raise, but I probably wouldn't have.

 

[phan12]

it was 60 more to you, you were already far invested into the pot you my as well have called clearly due to pot odds. Its hard sometimes though, because it is limit and if you are clearly beat, then honestly you my as well save your 60, but if there is any inclination that you could have him beat, I would call just for pot odds. Plus it was a 200 free roll so you my as well call

 

[arkadiy]

Definitely call, that's the thing about limit you can take those risks without losing to much.

 

[ketz]

With it being limit I would call it here. It is not taking a massive munch of your stack and you wont really feel a hit if you lose the hand

You're behind a lot of hands here, while crushing others who might've stayed in (lower two pairs, high ace, etc.). Betting in this spot will accomplish nothing since you'll only get called by hands that split the pot or beat you and raised (usually) by hands that have you beat (any J, 6,7, set, etc.). You'll save a bet if you check/call often enough to justify checking it down. Plus, with two people in the pot, you're facing maybe a bet/raise if you check it and thus save one bet in this situation also (without investing anything and folding knowing very well that you're beat).

Turn, maybe I check/raise myself, since with 2 callers, one will bet and we might get the guy who is drawing out of the pot and represent a big Ace. Showdown might be cheaper two if one folds and the other is confronted to you maybe having made a set or, two pairs, etc. But who am I kidding, this is a 200$ freeroll, people play their cards (badly), as we've seen by the raise on the river.
