He thought you also had pocket 5's and were chopping so no reason to raise you.

I saw AC/DC in concert when I was 16 in 1980 at Maple Leaf Gardens.Boy that makes me feel old.
I saw AC/DC open for KISS at the Jacksonville Coliseum in 1978. Guess I am even older?

Totally random observation from last Sunday's Sunday MillionI happening to be watching the table that had the shortest stack. He had 411 chips (or there abouts). THe blind were in the thousands and the ante was 300. The tournament had went in to hand to hand play and bubble boy was 1st to act under the gun. If he folds he gets chipped down to 111 chips and will be all in automatically the next hand but will cash. If he calls he will have thw whole table to beat and will have at least one caller. He calls with A9 and runs into AA and gets knocked out exactly on the bubble. If he had folded he would have cashed. Seemed such a dumb ass move to make and and a good way to throw away $300.

There are very few spots in MTTs where folding2cash is advised. There are some but the bubble of the Sunday Million isn't one of them. If the $300 is an issue to you, then you shouldn't be playing the tournament in the first place.edit- looking at that spot its a bit weird, maybe it is correct to fold, it's probably close. You really shouldn't let yourself get that low in the first place (unless he had just lost a huge pot)
