both of these guys were new to me and I had just sat down. I had a hard time making this fold.

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

This is about as easy as folding top pair will ever get.

[img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I have such a hard time folding to unknowns. that's why I spend so much time with buddy lists and datamining and stuff. I just suck against unknowns. and his name was xKornx69 or something which contributed also. no one with stupid names like that actually play well

looks like a good fold, although i invariably put SB on a weaker A and call down [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

i saw that guy limp on the button and figured he had to be an idiot. too bad the game fell apart. FWIW if he was open-limping on the button it was probably a good fold. did the hand get shown down?

that was the hand where he started bitching about the other guy timing out. you were at my table during that hand? but yeah, that was a good game. one of the two huge donks was at two of my tables
