I went on to finish second. Poor UTG who was watching in horror ended up bubbling out. Sorry bro.

I will try to remember this gift the next time I lose a 90-10 or better race.

Thank your lucky stars. I can't believe this was on a $22, btw.

[emonrad87]

Fit or fold, man. Fit or fold.

Maybe they're waiting for better pot odds? /images/graemlins/wink.gif

I am not making this hand up and have not altered it in any way.

[Freudian]

I once won 450 in blinds with a push of 310 chips. Love when people click the check/fold button.

[MrBlueNose]

Don't have the hand history here, but in an S&amp;G on Full Tilt two nights ago there was one like that. I was the short stack with about 350 chips, on the bubble 20 minutes in. There was a "battle of the blinds", and on the turn the SB checked, BB bet 350, SB(who had 1950 left) raised to 1875. BB called. River was a total blank, SB checked, BB bet, SB folded.

Not as good as Adar's but:

sigh, where do these people come from.

[chopchoi]

jeff, that looks like collusion to me.

[Patriarch]

I've seen a lot worse than this, like someone folding for 85 more into a 2400 pot for example. I went all-in for 85 chips on the river with rags and took it down. Sweet.

Your hand has a 0% chance of winning, essentially, but a naked A probably has a nontrivial chance of splitting the pot, which is pretty attractive for 10 chips. On the other hand, the big stacks might want to keep shorty breathing for ease of stealing from medium stacks, and perhaps there are image concerns as well about showing down a dog of a hand here. So I understand some of these folds, but it does seem surprising to me that some of the shorter stacks, say, don't throw chips at this. Were they afraid of action behind them?
