Re: Very Standard Fold
Yeah, it is easy to see why now. Just took that one key phrase.

I realize this is 3 posts in a row...but oh well.
What if you had a good hand? What if you weren't big stack? |

Re: Very Standard Fold
your hand doesn't matter, it's a call not matter what or fold no matter what kind of scenario for only 1 more chip.
If you are one of the medium stacks, it's an easy call, because your goal is to get ITM now, AND THEN start gambling for 1st. RIGHT GUYS? |

Re: Very Standard Fold
To make this fold I would have to know for sure that UTG and MP were both not willing to spite call with AT. They have a few too many chips and you have a few too little to really do this comfortably without that.
But no, nobody folds this in most games regardless, even when they really should. |

Re: Very Standard Fold
I never fold a good hand here, but I will fold a very poor one.
I think people are often wanting to get fancy here, believing they can make much more money by going after the other two stacks than they make by knocking out the SB for his 500 chips+your 250. The problem is this: the two other stacks aren't going to fold everything when they have 4xBB. So suddenly after pushing any two into the medium stacks and have them call with KJ to beat you (and a call is even more likely by you screaming out you want to keep the bubble alive by making an absurd fold), you are down to 3k while fourhanded instead of being ITM with 60% of the chips. |

Re: Very Standard Fold
Jason, this is not exactly the same situation, but what do you think of the check behind on the river here? (For similar reasons). 14 players, 3 pay, 2+2 Atlantic Trout SnG. The SB is left with less than 6 BB.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) converter Hero (t9185) Button (t2275) SB (t3025) BB (t2070) UTG (t4445) Preflop: Hero is MP with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t450</font>, Hero calls t450, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB calls t375, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Re: Very Standard Fold
quit making people better. however, an argument can be made about this situation, even though you are making the play to keep pwning the bubble. it may not be worth sacrificing the 751 chips in the pot for that extra bubble edge if the players you are up against dont play a correct calling game on the bubble. i think its very close here, and an argument can be made either way. holla
