it was a good fold, although depending on how well I knew my opponents I might be tempted to limp. I'm quite the fish ya know

I fold it even without the other Q out i think.

BTW, why are your posts always about "Big Folds"?

#4 08-20-2005, 03:48 PM

why fold at this point. at worst put in the $2 call. a wimpy fold to me. what is your logic for folding here?

Are you serious?

How is this not a limp?

jon_1van · #6 08-20-2005, 04:24 PM

why are you folding this?

Are you insta-folding this...or do you just not feel like playing it this time?

Why do you think folding is better than limping

2 over cards remaining to act, he has a dead Q, and his clubs are not that live.

I agree with the fold. This is one of those "gee, I wish I'd raised" situations--after the fact. (edit: misread it the first time... thought you showed the full results and that everyone folded to the BI. So ignore that comment) You have to fold to a raise or reraise from the A or K, especially with the dead Q. I think this is a fold that saves you money long term.

I don't think this is a 100% obvious fold, but it's a marginal situation where folding is probably better.

I still don't understand this one. You have the bring in and next person folding with you to act. I say either raise and fold if get reraised or just limp in for $2 and fold if getting reraised, but to fold before there is any action in the hand yet other than the bring in is like playing poker with the trembles. Perhaps a tranqulizer would help. Folding does not look to be warranted at this point in the hand. And at the level that you are playing in, you need to get in and play more hands. Not all hand situations are going to be perfectf rom start with all cards live and only looking at small door cards ahead. Take a chance - it's poker.
