My question, which is related to some recent posts; when is it correct to fold great, but not nut hands on Party NL $100?
Examples - Is it ever correct to fold KK preflop? Flop comes three suited (no Ace) and you have the Kx of the suit? Flop comes rainbow with no straight possibility (2,6,10) and you have bottom or middle set?
Assume for the sake of argument you don't have a read on the player against you in each hand. Also assume no significant pre-flop raising (minimum raise doesn't count).
Also assume you have at most 1 to 1.5 buy-ins.
I'd have trouble folding under these circumstances, but I feel a great player could and should fold in some of these scenarios. If you think folding is never correct, what changes would have to be made before you would fold?
