Re: First time I thought about laying down Kings preflop
If Harrington doesn't lie and says he is not good enough to ever fold KK PF (or have a good enough read, I forget how the said it), and you have folded them in $22 SnGs twice on the last week, you may be giving opponents too much credit. (Even good oponents)

Re: First time I thought about laying down Kings preflop
Wow, 6/4 is tight even for a 10-tabler. It probably means he's not making a lot of fancy plays early on... Still, this seems like the extreme case (no read on the raiser, super-tight reraiser) and I still can't convince myself the pure AA read is correct enough of the time to make me lay down KK preflop in an 800-chip Party SNG.

Re: First time I thought about laying down Kings preflop
Ship it! I thought that you posted this because you ended up calling and he didnt have AA, and were going to give a lecture on how to always call! Despite that I stood by my guns and said I'd fold and was correct. Some people telegraph AA so badly that if they ever do when Im at the table, I will fold KK, and there is really no way they can use this information to specifically take advantage of me. For the most part I can predict when someone has AA-KK for sure with a very high accuracy. What I mean is that when Im super confident that a player has it, Im usually correct. This always has to be a player that I know is solid/good, because random players do crazy min raises with 65s. |

Re: First time I thought about laying down Kings preflop
I will be a better player when I can say I can fold KK PF.
The problem is, when I want to fold, they often have AA like I thought, but at least 50% of the time, they have AK, QQ or worse. So, I guess my read has to be really, really right to consider folding. |

[/ QUOTE ] More like 75% and I'd shoot that hand range to AQo in the 22s. I remember reading somewhere that the most common hand for people busting out of the ME on day 1 was KK, or that was the perception. |

Re: First time I thought about laying down Kings preflop
Has anyone except maybe Hellmuth ever made a televised fold of KK preflop?

Re: First time I thought about laying down Kings preflop
I have to admit, that it's kind of cool to think that I could laydown KK preflop in a situation like this. It's too bad I have yet to have the balls to do so.
Ilya, are you quasi? |
