SO YOU CAN FOLD 'POCKET ACES...WHEN ITs APPROPRIATE.

My KK , FT BAD BEAT = wed night 18th FEB .

all in on KK 4 playing bubbling for venues cash vouchers.

two callers one shows AQ other shows AJ and you guessed it second card on flop a A....bye , bye Brucie...
so whats the odds of the ace floping in a three handed show down with two already in play ??? macca please advise.??

[Chelsea4thewin]

did he win the SNG?

i would of probably called, the money should NOT be an issue when playing poker, if you have to worry about it you should not be playing that limit, simple as that

[Luke05(Jamo)]

if u gonna worry about cash u should not be playing poker at all.

[bennymacca]

if my maths is right, it would be a 22.7% of a 2 outer (in this case the A) hitting

so nearly 1 in 4 times you are losing there bruce

sucky, but not really a bad beat.

bruce, you need to provide information about your stack size.

my guess is that you would have been very short stacked - this means that AJ and AQ are always calling.

Just so you guys can work it out yourself.

I had to guess the suits here.
KsKd 73.43% win, 0.33% tie
AhQd 16.83% win, 1.39% tie
AcJs 8.35% win, 1.39% tie

[bennymacca]

my calculations were only for an ace to hit, not including flushes or straights or trips in the undercard, so i guess this is where the extra percentage comes from

[BigPete33]

some of you would call for value yet fold aces preflop?


no make-a da sense!


As if you don't want everyone allin preflop before you when you're holding aces.

QFT.

Why would you call? Who says the money is an issue? If you're on the bubble to a satelitte seat into the WSOP ME and a SS pushes all in, and then the chip leader shoves over the top, why would you call with AA there? Regardless of what either player is holding, the chance for you to be knocked out is there. Its probably smaller when you're holding AA, but its there. And when position 17-1 are valued the same, there is NO point in trying to accumulate more chips. Wait for the SS to be knocked out - the SNG will usually end anyway.

Now, if you're folding down for money... that's different. At the time, Todd may have been short bankroll wise and US 227 could've been the kick he needed. To each their own.

Pete: Not everyone.

What, you want to build a big pot with only a small hand? Sure already ITM, but not in bubble situations for serious cash - unless of course you're going to be blinded next hand, and you'll be all-in regardless, you'd take a punt with a pair anytime.

if i got aces and rcon raises me im folding everytime

atta'boy - my reraises demand respect! LOL!

I know what you're saying Jamo, but I don't think this is quite the point of this thread - more about you goal should be to cash if you're building or playing with a bankroll, then you can shoot for the win.
