huck seed in superstars 2 had gone all in 5-6 times in a row b4 mike sexton looked at 44. sexton folded which didnt make much sense to me. it seems that the pro's arent very good at STT.

Its a clear fold. 44 is a coinflip at best and sexton wasnt exactly short stacked.

Maybe YOU dont know how to play Sngs.

i believe sexton had better than a coin flip .. slightly and if he won that coin flip he would be in a big chip lead. this would also allow him to take lead of the table. i dont see how sexton could fold , i would never fold pp in this situation..

Most people aren't exactly happy to flip a coin for their tourney life, at best. Maybe you run good?

doesnt matter who it is, with a healthy stack at that stage of the tourney, 44 is an instafold. however, if blinds were worth stealing, 44 would be a great steal hand, but still, definitely not a call hand. =)

maybe im wrong in this situation.. but sexton didnt seem to have a bigger than 60-40 advantage . its a table full of pros. in this case i cant see how he can figure folding a slight EV is the best situation. but like i said maybe im wrong.

if curtains said i was wrong about this hand i would believe him. he does play with the best in the game

You also cant assume that he is always going to be the slight fav in the coin toss, he could be dominated. 4s just isnt a calling hand when you arent desperate. If he was really low or maybe really high, but when comfortable there is no need to straight up gamble.

Stack sizes seem important, no?

Worst. Idea. Ever.

And you fold the 44, depending on factors already set out in other replies.

I think your man-crush is becoming a tad unealthy. I mean, sure, curtains is a decent poker player. I hear he's ok at chess too. He does have this aura of confidence that is really attractive, and he looks good in a pink wig, and when he talks to you you feel like you're alone in the worl....

Wait.. Where was I going with that again?... Oh yeah.. FOLD MORAN.
