Excerpt from Harrington on Hold \'em
No, I don't have one, but I could have SWORN that I saw one when Mason posted on a thread about folding KK. Dan said that he even thought the guy had aces, and he still didn't fold.
Now I can't find that post, and I don't know if it got deleted or what, but it's driving me crazy. Am I insane? Did I just imagine this? Or did it get deleted? |

My friend jokingly said the book would be about 2 sentences long.

Freakin [/ QUOTE ] Its gotta be book length though, you need chapters and stuff: Chapter 1: Folding Preflop: Fold everything but Group 1 hands Flop: Fold if you miss unless you are sure they missed too, then bet and fold to more aggression Chapter 2: Folding See Chapter 1 Chapter 3: Folding See Chapter 2 ..... Chapter 8237: Folding See Chapter 8236 The end |

By the way, I'm working on Dan Harrington's first book, Harrington on Hold ’em: Expert Strategy for No Limit Tournaments; Volume I: Strategic Play, right at the moment, and he addresses this issue. Here's what he has to say on it: Quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A lot of players will tell you stories about the times they folded K-K because they knew their opponent was raising with A-A. Here’s my story. About a year ago, a tight player in the big blind raised me. I actually thought he had aces. I was in early position with a pair of Kings. I made a modest raise and he reraised me. I thought a long time and called. The flop came three small cards, and he bet a modest amount and I called. He actually had the aces. I almost threw the hand away, but I couldn’t do it. Just not savvy enough. Even bets and raises that seem to indicate great strength can have a variety of explanations, from moderately strong hands to outright bluffs. And here’s a little secret from the world of top-class poker. Nobody else is that savvy either, no matter what they tell you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
