I think it's a very weak fold. Why is he going allin if he can beat AKo? Almost everyone would check raise there.

I think you just folded the best hand. There might be a tie, but you definately have the best hand, IMO.

I think that was the first time I have ever folded this hand in that situation. I was mainly thinking about the long run in the tournament(it was pretty early)

Yes, after a few more hands i 100% regret folding that hand...he was a moron.

But unforunatly I got 2nd...to the same bozo.

Hmmm, if you're going to fold on that flop and action with AKs, you may want to rethink playing it pre-flop to start with.

The hands that all scare you will most likely be check-raised as curtains already pointed out. Plus, it's much more likely he has a bad A than 66 or JJ. The only hand here I can see ahead of you is AJ or A6 and neither is likely enough to warrant folding. These hands also would be check/raised most of the time.

If this is a lower limit (and I sure hope it is given your admitted penchant for playing above your skills and bankroll) I think calling is good for reasons that are illogical as you will see many more dominated aces and/or paired jack hands.

I dont get it. You play a lot of sngs i assume, and situations like this come up all the time. I call this 100% of the time and see hands like A7 and JT all day. How in the hell did u decide this was a fold?

[Mr_J]

Folded TPTK. This is the flop you wanted, so what scared you off?. Why would he push 2p or a set? You should've called to relieve him of his stack.

I'm guessing you folded because you weren't sure, and though why risk it since you have a good stack size?

[The Yugoslavian]

I hope your response is to the OP b/c I *am* advocating calling here.

If you're going to be folding this kind of flop, what DO you continue with? And, if you are mucking here, you are mucking MOST times, and may want to consider NOT raising so much.
