Default Re: AA fold

So let me get this straight.

You are holding the best possible starting hand and only have to worry about one player calling your raise.


Are you telling me that in Stud you would also fold your split Ace's? In Omaha you fold Ace's?

You play Poker?

Default Re: AA fold

I would love for seat 8 to call me with AT (10+ to 1 favorite) or QJ (6 to 1 favorite) for me to double up in chips.

I play for first. 3rd is seriously worth nothing to me. The only way I fold this is if I have like.. 400-500 in chips and it would be basically a miracle to get first. But with 1200, this is a clear push (or open raise to 400 and push on any flop)

Still wrong to fold Aces. Actually it's even more wrong than it is with a big stack.

I really don't think so. you're doubling 400 chips to 800 chips. and you're still 4 to 1 behind second place guy and 10 to 1 against chip leader.

The only possible way I might fold AA pf is if you were in BB and UTG, Button AND SB were all 3 all in b/c AA is not good multi-way, otherwise I am never folding this PF

I have trouble folding AA w/ 4 to a str8 or flush on the board... LOL

All I saw on your post was "preflop".
HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE , HORRIBLE FOLD.

Are you dumb? AA is the best hand to go multiway with.

I didn't say my move was correct, that's why I'm posting on here.

From your post, it is obvious to me that you have never played a single hand of Stud/8 or Omaha/8 in your life.

This is an obvious fold- wait for a better time to get your money in.....

Also, If I am BB and 3 people in front of me go all in, I'm not sure I can click "call" fast enough.

For those of you who consider folding AA PF, the general consensus before was that it is ONLY correct if you are the short stack on the bubble of a satellite, and the other short stack has already gone all-in. I believe that was the only "correct" time to fold.

Hi, There!

In this situation I would also fold...

...my clothes - after removing them - and then I would toss them into the pot with all my chips. ( [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] )

Normally, I would throw my cat into that pot, too, but she's been hiding under something or another in this house for several hours. That may be due to my earlier yelling after 2 consecutive first place finishes. Woohoolalula! ( [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] )

Have a great day! -Geri.
