I was fairly convinced I was ahead, but perhaps there was a set out there...however, if there wasn't and these guys were going all in with rubbish...then I'd be better placed to win it in the long run by letting the idiots knock each other out. Especially since this was only the second hand and in the first hand other players had made massive overbets. So either way folding was correct. Any thoughts?
[Incidentally I was playing at about 7:00am est for the first time and on all my tables the play was excessive; all ins from the word go. I wondered it was due to Europeans on their lunch breaks needing to finish quickly. Just a thought.]
