Can I / Should I ever fold?

taylor79

As you can see I called in this spot, but the question is, is it just standard or is there ever a situation where I can fold? When I played the hand I thought it was just standard, but having thought about it since there are 2 reasons why I think I could have folded.

1. Had the villian down as a good player and he hadn't been shoving lots
2. This is the level I play at and often the big pre flop shove is AA / KK, particulary with the re re raise

I'm not worried about losing the hand, I would just like some opinions as to whether either of the above 2 are reasons to fold, or if there is anything else to consider.

your getting good odds on a flip i think,

However you have to ask what people shove that deep with and i think we can rule out <JJ

So that gives us a range of

QQ, KK, AK, AA.

Only one of these hands we beat so therefore to me its a fold.

i agree with don. the player does make a diference though, can you give me little clue who it is(i play at this level so i should know them) but a fold is definatly the right move.

Thanks for your replys. Yeah, think I have come to the same conclusion myself that it is a fold. I guess his range is pretty narrow with that sort of shove.

Pod. Probably shouldn't put his name up without asking him. Will let you know if I see you on the tables.
