Yes, it was. Stop pretending folding the 4th best possible hand is a matter of routine. It's the type of play which gets a player out of bad situations and possibly to the WSOP Main Event final table.

It's not a matter of routine, but in that situation I think most would agree it's a pretty easy laydown.

When you get raised and reraised, it's a pretty standard fold there.

How the hell does Kondracki play TT, opening for 1/2 his stack instead of pushing?

Hand 7 - Joseph Hachem has the button in seat 1, Kondracki raises to $450,000, and Dannenmann moves all in. Kondracki is short stacked, but thinks long and hard about this decision. The crowd starts getting restless, and with a shrug, he calls the all-in bet. Kondracki shows pocket tens (10s-10c), while Dannenmann has Ad-Qc. It's a race situation as the flop comes Qs-Js-4s, giving Dannenmann a pair of queens, while Kondracki has a spade flush draw, or he can catch a ten or a runner-runner straight to stay alive.

The turn card is the 2h, and Kondracki now needs to catch a ten or a spade (11 outs) to stay alive. The river card is the 7s, and the crowd cheers as Kondracki makes a flush to stay alive. Kondracki, who had been standing up, has an "Aw, shucks," expression on his face as he calmly sits down with a smile on his face. Meanwhile, his friends in the crowd are cheering like he just won the entire tournament. But as long as he's still alive, he still has that chance.

Brad Kondracki doubles up through Steve Dannenmann, and he now has about $2.6 million in chips.

Hand 15 - Scott Lazar has the button in seat 9, Matusow raises to $280,000, and Black tosses his chips on the table to call. The flop comes Jc-6c-5h, Black checks, Matusow bets $350,000, and Black immediately calls. The turn card is the 10h, Black bets out for $1,000,000, Matusow raises to $2,000,000, and Black immediately says, "All in."

Matusow stops to consider this life-or-death decision, putting his elbow on the table, and resting his head as he studies his chips and his opponent. He's very calm and collected and he carefully moves his chips into a row, and it's unclear if he's counting them out or moving them in. He stares at Black for a moment to get a reaction, and then studies the cards and all the possibilities. He reaches for his water bottle to take a drink, still studying the cards on the board. Matusow is nothing like his reputation -- he looks like his heart rate hasn't even gone up.

Matusow asks with a smile, "Do you want me to call?" Black just smiles back, and doesn't speak. Matusow puts his hands behind his chips, ready to push, but stalls, trying to get a reaction. He must not like what he sees, or he must not like what he holds, because he folds his cards.

Why bet over T1,000,000 at a pot with about T250,000 in it? He's got to build a stack. That means he's got to get called when he's got the best of it.

I fold JJ almost daily preflop in NL sngs in similar situations. Am I fooling myself?
