Very Standard Fold

Jason Strasser · #1 06-09-2005, 06:18 PM

This is very standard yet I bet a vast majority of you will never make this fold.

Four handed. Blinds 250/500. You are big stack with a little over 5k. You are the BB. UTG with a little over 2k folds, button with a little over 2k folds, SB goes all in and its one more chip for you to call and you have any two cards.

assume regular party 200 sng

At an extremely tight and passive table i might actually fold this, but on a standard 10+1 table, which is what i currently play, there is no way im folding. If SB doubles up here through your fold he will be up to 1k and the mid stacks dont't have enough chips to confortably wait him out.

I am proud to say I have made that fold before.

Keeping the bubble alive is a topic that is often discussed on this forum and i wouldn't be surprised at all if most actually did fold in this case. I even read a while back that someone folded AA in a similar situation.

They should be capable of folding here....this has been gone over on this board like a bajillion times.

Who thinks the more interesting question is how small does UTG's stack have to be for a fold here to not be a good idea...

I never see people make this fold in a 200 sng.

It's a fold, and it's obvious why, you only have to look at the relative positions.

Why would you fold? For 1 chip more you can have the chance of knocking him out and being itm. If you fold he has 100% chance of getting 500 of your chips. If you call he has at best 80% (and more likely 50%ish) chance of getting 501 of your chips?

Maybe I'm off and/or this is way over my head, but I can see no reason at all as to why you should ever fold any hand for 1 more chip...especially when you have half the chips on the table.

Fold and push any two next hand to take the blinds from the tight medium stacks.
