This is why you should not fold for 1 bet in a huge pot

[DrewOnTilt]

In SSHE, Ed Miller repeatedly emphasizes that folding for one bet in a huge pot is a very bad move.

I saw a hand at a live game this morning that supports this notion.

I'm in MP2 with 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG limps, I raise, CO 3-bets, all call and 3 to the flop, 10 SB
Flop is 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

UTG bets, I raise, CO 3-bets, all call, 19 SB
Turn is T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

UTG bets, I see CO lining up for another raise so I fold, CO raises, UTG calls, 13.5 BB

River is K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

UTG bets.

CO growls about how he "knew that [censored] 4th spade was coming" and folds trip 8s face up in the center of the table.

The pot was laying 14.5:1, and CO folded for a single bet. What a HORRIBLE fold. UTG pitched J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] onto the table and said, "I guess betting was the only way for me to win" as he dragged a huge pot.

That was quite possibly the worst fold I have ever seen, and it about made me puke on the table. Never mind the fact that were I a real fish, I would have won the pot with a 7 high flush [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Ed Miller, you were right. Folding for a single bet with a decent hand is a TERRIBLE move.
