if u fold the nuts on the flop headsup, then you are nuts. KcQc, 1 out of 169 (OK maybe better odds). i'd take that chance.

After ten seconds of thinking I would fold to save myself from getting stabbed for slowrolling.

Thank you for bringing some sense into this thread.

seriously, random's post has to be the funniest thing i ever read in this forum.

I think even arguing for CONSIDERING folding here is just telling us how weakly you play, or how much you love your chips.

Intellectually, you know you must call. You must, or go home and take up contract bridge for money.

Nice call, whether you won or lost. Whether you won or lost is immaterial. That's the whole point of poker. LONG RUN.

He's making a joke, you missed it. Point being that if you thought for a second about folding with that holding, when you did call people would think you were an [censored] for pretending to think about it.

No offense intended, but if you need to think about your action here after he pushes, you should maybe consider fly fishing or needlepoint as time-occupiers.

Let's see...I sat and waited for a hand for hours, flopped the nuts, then got raised allin against a player who almost certainly has a set.

Come on. You can't always be looking for a reason to be beat. You will virtually always be a favorite here.

If the casino had a house game table that advertised that you were virtually always a favorite and could bet as much as you wanted, would you go to the buffet instead?

Yes, I mean assuming you somehow KNEW the game was legit.

Seriously. When you called with that hand what kind of flop did you WANT to see that you wouldn't have to make a decision on? QQQ? KKK? A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]? This is the best possible scenario for you to be in. Worst case scenario he is on a freeroll with 9 outs.

I'd call here. And then, I'd call one more time just in case I didn't the first time.

There is some point where if the stacks are deep enough, that you have to fold. If villian could somehow read you for the nuts, and he did have KQ clubs, his play would be pretty damn nasty and you be in a pretty crappy place.

All that being said, you likely have to call here. His play only makes sense if he read you for the nuts. I doubt he could do that given the action. If he moved in for 10k, I'd say a fold is in order. 5k, maybe. I have no idea where the critical point is and it would be interesting to find out.
