avesher 0 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I'm watchin poker on tv. Guy 1 raises 3 times bb (has A 8)guy 4 calls (has J J)heads up. Flop comes 9 8 2 unsuited---guy 1 bets half pot guy 4 folds. Was this not a horrible fold. Chip stack was equal. I'm relatively new so need opinions. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
DeadlySkillz 0 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I saw that episode too. Personally, I think the guy that folded JJ was an idiot. With the amount of time he was spending thinking I was sure he was figuring how he could get the most money out of the guy, not "should I fold? Link to post Share on other sites

foldnrun 0 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 good lord i saw that too, i started yelling at the f'n TV. i couldnt believe he folded that.its the partypoker open thing... 6 guys to a table, winner advances to a final table, and the winner of that table gets 100K.later on one of the guys, 3-handed, gets KJ suited and folds.

mclark340 0 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Given the structure of the tournament (winner advance), I am surprised by the move as well.Keep in mind, we have the benefit of seeing the cards while this guy did not. I did not see the episode, but there are numerous reasons to fold:1. Read on an opponent (in this case a bad read)2. History at the table (did Guy 1 make a similar move with a monster hand)3. Were they the chip leaders?4. Were the blinds small enough to wait for a better place to make a stand.I like the comment above about amateurs don't throw away overpairs...I am guessing the guy that folded used a combo of the reasons above to make what he felt was the right move at the time.

Guest XXEddie Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Yes, maybe he was thinking Guy 1 had 10/J, 10/7, or 7/6. He didn't want to gamble with this draw, with J/J.Nice Bet though, to get Guy4 to fold (I must say).Bad read, Good bet.WTF???I would happy to get my money in as a 2-1 favorite Link to post Share on other sites
