still trying to learn.... weak fold?

snapfc01 · #1 02-17-2005, 05:24 PM

so far the only had i've played was when i had KK and raised 5x bb, got reraised and i pushed... got called by QQ and kncoked the guy out... so if anyone has a read on me at my table it is tight/aggressive... i figured i have a good amount of chips and didn't want to risk 800 more here (b/c to me calling here is not an option... it's push or fold)... good fold?

MP1 is transparently committing himself to this pot. Good fold.

However, I don't think I would have reraised quite so much. Something around 150 to 200 would have accomplished the same thing.

i'd say this is a relatively weak fold, but i think the real mistake is the large reraise you put in initially.

if you're going to reraise that much then you probably have to grit your teeth and make this call since he could be assuming a race with some garbage underpair.

by the same token we've pretty much all seen the minraise ep to all in move from somebody holding aces or a very big pair.

a case could be made for either feeling on the fold, if you want to err on the side of caution early on and hope to exploit edges with a larger stack with a low blind level then it's fine.

I'd call the initial raise and see a flop.

If for some reason I got confused and thought I had KK instead of JJ, I reraise to about 180 or so.

what do you do when 3 rags come? push/call anything?
