andyfmfb Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 "Win or lose, it does not matter. As long as I know I made the correct decision." I think it was Hellmuth said it, and its been ringing in my ears for some time now. Early doors in a 55 euro sat to PPT Prague. Blinds 25/50. All stacks around the 3k mark. UTG+1 raises to 150, folds round to me in sb, pocket jacks, re raise to 450. bb shoves, almost instantly. Initial raiser takes a few seconds then is all in as well. I think I made the correct decision, but am beginning to question myself as its happening a bit to often recently. What do you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nade Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Re: Decisions I'm snap folding JJ there to a cold 4bet snap shove vs UTG opener for 60BBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socky1 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Re: Decisions Insta fold for me in that spot unless its a rebuy, then I insta call and tick the double re-buy box ready for when I lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyfmfb Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Re: Decisions Yeah I fold, certain to see at least a kk. Not so, bb has ak and raiser has fecking aq. My hopes to see one of them hit was soon dashed with a good old jack on the turn. So the correct decision ended up changing the whole dynamics of the table, how loose the play was effected the way I played, in particular against the bb who won the hand in question, leading to missing a few more chances to ko him from the game. So my second question is, is that wrong on my behalf? ............................. and you'll never guess who won the seat........... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nade Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Re: Decisions I think it's very important to have confidence in the decisions you make. As long as you take some moments to think about what you're doing, taking into consideration all the info you have at the time then you must make the play you think best at the time. If it doesn't work out then that's just one of those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nade Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Re: Decisions And if you're still not sure on a decision then post it on the forum (which you have done) So i'd say you've played everything perfect :clap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heniek31 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Re: Decisions Insta fold for me. Freeroll or $5 tourney insta call. Never regret your decision, as it will affect your game afterwards. It was only this time aq an ak. Next time qq and kk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaulc Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Re: Decisions no consolation i know,but i would have folded instantly,even if i had AA,unless of course as the guys have said already its a re-buy. dont try and second guess the decisions you have made,i have fallen into that trap,and still do occasionally,once a decision is made,move on :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthebuilder Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Re: Decisions Why would you fold AA? Thats not a trick question, it's a genuine question from someone who is crap at poker, but would never fold AA before the flop. :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyfmfb Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Re: Decisions No way do I have it in me to lay down bulletts in that scenario. Kings? Every chance they would be in as good of shape as the jacks would be. Alot tougher to lay down though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haichan Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Re: Decisions i would fold AA if more than 2 players are all in as the odds are against you. Actually with AA's you are still a 66% favourite even if the other 2 hands are KK and QQ. With the amount in the pot the odds would be in your favour. JJ's are completly different. against KK's and AK you are no better than a 20% fav. normal fold unless you think your opponents are stealing and you are short stacked.

trips Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Re: Decisions We've all been in this situation,worst thing you can do is let it affect your game and start making calls when you know your either way behind or at best in a flip. you made the right decision and rightly surprised to see ak and aq when blinds were so low. i would take notes on the players be prepared to call any squeezes with a decent hand and look for semi bluffs from them after the flop.

rejmak Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Re: Decisions i would fold AA if more than 2 players are all in as the odds are against you. I cant belive it Never ever fold AA in that situation even if there is 5 players allready all in pre flop and its beginning of tournament About JJ ---not very easy but still fold for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
