backing down from the BB

[dfscott]

I keep posting the hands I play, so I thought I'd post one I didn't.

BB seemed a little fishy (but who am I to say). Is this an easy fold or should I be taking my chances here?

I think you folded it fine, way I see it he got AK or AQ or a PP 88-QQ, in my opinion only. Which ever he got you are most likely in a coinflip situation or a world full of ****.

You played this fine. Good-sized raise PF, when someone comes over the top at you for a bet like that, the best option is to fold, you will already be beaten a lot of hte time, and/or will get overtaken by big cards on the flop too many times to bet further with any confidence. You have plenty of chips here and in good shape to win.

Easy Fold.

You are the 2 chip leaders - why try and risk your tournament on the 1 guy who can cripple you.

I hate when I'm the #1 or #2 stack and seated directly to the left of the other stack. Always makes me very cautious about my play.

Whew! It's nice to know I'm doing at least something right. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks, all.
