Re: Am I gving Pre-Flop Early Position Raises too much Respect?
Like others, I default fold here, but I also pay attention to the hand -- especially on a showdown to see what my opponent has, so I have a sense of his raising standards. Sometimes people raise with real garbage -- in which case, I may even three-bet KQ to isolate.
It's understandable to be frustrated if you fold a hand and find that the flop would have hit you if you stayed. However, it's important not to be oriented towards short-term outcomes and think instead whether the decision itself was correct.
