Re: First time I thought about laying down Kings preflop
[ QUOTE ]
I'm never folding KK on lvl 2 of an 800 chip game, so I don't think it really matters. [/ QUOTE ] That's how I think too. It was just one of those situations where my hunch was I was behind or tied. These situations don't happen all that often, but when they do, I'm right more often than I am wrong. Bleh. |

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? |

I would have been surprised. I've never noticed Ilya posting about his 14 hr runs 38439084309 tabling.

Re: First time I thought about laying down Kings preflop
Does any1 else remember the 2001 WSOP hand where Hellmuth had aces, Phil Gordon had kings, and Matusow had queens? Matusow folded first to Hellmuths raise, and Gordon folded face up, making Hellmuth go ballistic. "Im up against the 2nd and 3rd best starting hands in poker and all I get are the blinds?" It was funny.

Re: First time I thought about laying down Kings preflop
If you know that hes a very good/tight player, folding probably isnt that bad. In fact based on what you said it may even be correct, but Id really have to know the player myself to make such a statement. There are players where I would definitely fold KK if this were the action in front of me. Fortunately it hasnt come up yet.

Re: First time I thought about laying down Kings preflop
Did you fold?
I have never folded KK preflp but should/could have a couple times. One time was simliar to this hand in the 22s vs a good 2+2er. I pretty much knew in my mind he had AA but I called anyway. |

Re: First time I thought about laying down Kings preflop
Aside from meaning he's not losing, why do you think being on the leaderboard means he's good?
I could fold QQ here, but I need to know him better than just being on the leaderboard to fold KK. My best piece of info would be if I had a note on him. You don't have it this time, but if this went to showdown you should have one now. I've got a lot of notes that say "Played like AA, was AK" or "Played like AA, was AA" or some such. |
