Does anybody else make great folds like this at low limit tournaments?

mrh86 · #1 09-13-2005, 09:05 PM

I've primarily been playing the 10+1, 27 person tournaments on PokerStars. I generally play pretty tight, and I try to play on other peoples' aggression. To this point, I've seen 1 out of 51 flops outside of the blinds, and the person to my right had been playing just as tight from what I've seen. Does anybody ever give people credit for great hands at this level? Here it is:

It sounds like you were observant to note that this guy was playing much tighter than your average low-limit player. While AQ is strong on the first few hands when the crazies are going at it, I notice your HH is from Level VII, when I assume things have settled down quite a bit. When facing a raise from a tight player, with a number of players still to act behind you, I think you did well to muck AQo.

Yeah, but that KT conversation had to do with the first level of blinds, and I've stopped doing that since that post. I didn't mean for this to be a brag thread, sorry.

Here's a hand from later in that final table where I didn't make a great fold, if it makes you happy. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

why no reraise lol

I figured I'd get away from the hand if an ace or three suited cards that I didn't have came on the flop. Plus, if he had an underpair, I didn't want to give my hand away, and I know that most of these players won't fold preflop.

TomHimself · #9 09-13-2005, 09:26 PM

wow ur weak tight, just push preflop
