CAN YA???
...Trust your instincts enough to fold this hand........
Been at the table 15 minutes, trebbled up 2 hands before, I thought I was running sick on this flop.....but you just know you're losin, but can't help but call....coz u have such a good hand!!!!
Its not like "oh he cant fold his aces" - Such a super strong hand.....Anyone believe in their reads enough to fold this kinda hand??? - Again maybe like the KK v AA pre flop thing.
Can anyone post a huge fold that they got right? - probably have to be a 3 way pot to be able to know if its right or wrong......I wish I'd folded! lol

Cn the best in the world pass here? - if he can, Its possible, so I wanna be able to do it !!!
I hear people say "wait for better spots" - but U cant flop set over set everytime u wanna win a big pot?????
Any hold em ones?
I think everyone in hold em, convinces themselves their hand is "too good to fold"
Likewise, people convince themselves their hand "isn't good enough to make the call on the river"
Surely, if its the 2nd best hand its the right fold, no matter how good it is????
........That has to be what seperates the good from the brilliant....?
that was some fold he made!!!!

But as you know Im useless at cash anyway ! !
Love the link donkeyplop...seen it before but never get tired of watching that!!
Also the commentary, Devilfish is saying its an easy fold....maybe these top class guys can do it!....
What I will add tho is it's a tourny, and Ive watched hours and hours of the high stakes cash games, and seen Phil Hellmuth fold the best hand so many times.....I guess trying to set up the huge pot....
But yeah that was a good fold, on a paired board tho, It always makes it easier......
If you found urself in this position, in the first level of a deepstacked tourny, say the DANTB thing the other night, how would you play it? - Where would you get away? - Where would you get more money in for value, if at all??,
- Would you be raising TJ s pre flop first level? (if not, still answer above anyway
I would like to think i could fold it mate but to be honest i dont think i could! im sure the best players in the world would be able to find the fold button when they find themselves in the same situation but are playing for £1,000's per hand, but at the stakes im losin £50 quid ere and i think most people are! ...
i had a similar hand ages ago on nl100 i was holdin AJ suited raised it up to £4 and got 2 callers, flop was J J 7 i cant remember exactly how i played the hand but i can remember i ended up losin around £200 odd quid because one of the callers held pocket 77's! and i can remember thinkin at the time that i should have been able to find the fold button, and i probably should have! but these hands are so difficult to put down!! anyone who comes on this thread and says they can lay this hand down for £50 is talkin out there **** imo! so dont worry about it geeza! ul with the hand anyway mate but ur still 50quid up and im sure u will be addin a few hundreds on by the end of the night! so stop moanin ;-)
How I would react to the reraise would depend on who it was, there are many players I could find a fold against.
If it was someone I could see making that move with K10, diamonds, or AQ,I would still hate calling. Putting a 3bet in here is better value than calling turn and river, it minimises risk from draws, and gives me option of reassessing if he shoves.
Later in a tourny is different, it almost certainly would have been goodbye from me !
this was something very similiar to your hand dohhhh
He's superhuman, dunno how old he/she is - but will be on the tele within a few yrs IMO!
Just watched ur link porkerman, bet you couldnt make that fold on the freeplay tables!!! Dunkies or no Dunkies!!! lol
I think the conclusion here is, there WAS a way off it!!!! - Thanx for the quick replies guys, like to hear more of ya views keep em coming!
This is doing my head in. How is this a fold. You must have lots of history/reads here or I am a total donk and always will be.... I know you are one of the best on sky so what is your thought process here plz....
didn't like to say owt as he's such a good player and i stink @ cash....just can't see how that turn changes anything!! surely it's call turn, call river barring a massive overbet on the river from v. which lookin at those stacks can't happen...
best laydown I ever saw was playing live £75.00 buy in D/S at Circus Newcastle, very early in tourney and the hero had just doubled up so was big chip leader,
blinds 100 / 200 action folds round to hero
hero raises to 500 in cut off
villain reraises to 1000 in BB
hero makes call
flop AAK
hero bets pot
villain raises, again pot size bet
in the tank for about 3 minutes & hero folds showing AJ
villain says great fold mate and flips over KK for full house
now that certainly was a good fold
Against this player in this situation i felt like the best i could hope for is a split pot. Maybe in a vacuum its a bad fold and if someone posted the hand i would prob tell them not to fold but vs this player and with the other player in the pot i just thought he isnt squeezing here and he prob doesnt expect both of us to fold. He would 3bet AK and all big pairs preflop and would just flat Kx and JT in position so really he can only have KQ or 66.The only thing which made me doubt is that my hand is so under-repped that maybe he could do it with KJ or something for value but i felt if he did have a weaker hand he would slow down on the turn, he didnt, on a card which he prob would, so i decided to fold.
Its one of those spots, like doh says, where you now you are beat but you get it in anyway because you have top two and its dumb to put your opponent on a set so you come up with a range which contains some bluffs like JT or maybe they didnt 3bet AK or AA when in reality its just way more likely they have a set.
Dont get me wrong, Im not folding this most of the time but it felt right to do so here.
