Default Re: Folding preflop to a raise when you know your dominated

[ QUOTE ]
The real key to this type of situation is how are you going to play this when you hit something. So you flop a ten, do you intend on calling him all the way down because you may have sucked out his AK? Can you tell if he has UI AK or if he has QQ? What if you flop an A? Same problem in reverse. At this level, if you show any aggression for information purposes when you flop a ten, the weak tight players are just going to call you all the way down and flip JJ or QQ. Same thing with AQ. The only hands you are going to be able to dodge are AA and AK. Even a tight nit will play back hard at you if you both flop and A. This is the real problem with these types of hands. Being dominated isn't the issue as much as getting into trouble losing a big pot. I would much rather have 56s here

This is the thing that too many people just don't get. They say, "You're getting 4:1 you have to call!" and then they lose another 6BB postflop because they hit part of their hand and were never ahead.
