Hi all, Here is a hand that I played earlier today in a micro stakes SnG: Table #27063933 - STT #16441486 Starting Hand #1277938101 Start time of hand: 18 Apr 2010 12:54:29 Last Hand #1277936726 Game Type: HOLD'EM Limit Type: NO LIMIT Table Type: TOURNAMENT Money Type: TOURNAMENT CHIPS Blinds are now $100/$200 Button is at seat 1 Seat 1: Godders1984 - $4,135 Seat 2: Hebikane - $820 Seat 6: KoliaP - $4,650 Seat 7: patandy111 - $1,940 Seat 8: JTK69 - $3,455 Moving Button to seat 2 KoliaP posts small blind ($100) patandy111 posts big blind ($200) Shuffling Deck Dealing Cards Dealing [Ad Qc] to Godders1984 JTK69 calls $200 Godders1984 raises to $800 Hebikane folds KoliaP calls $800 patandy111 folds JTK69 calls $800 Dealing Flop [Kh As Qd] KoliaP bets $600 JTK69 calls $600 Godders1984 raises to $1,200 KoliaP calls $1,200 JTK69 raises to $2,655 (all-in) Godders1984 has requested more time Godders1984 folds KoliaP calls $2,655 KoliaP shows [Kd 8h] JTK69 shows [Qs Kc] Dealing Turn [4c] Dealing River [3d] JTK69 has Two Pairs: Kings, Queens JTK69 wins $9,110 with: Two Pairs: Kings, Queens My question is: Did I fold too hastily with my 2 pair? My thinking at the time was that given the betting to that point (my raise pre-flop called by 2 limpers, then a raise, re-raise and all in re-raise after the flop) meant that I was wary about one the of the other players holding AK. If I held AK at this stage pre-flop, I would have raised, but I know a lot of players tend to limp in with premium pairs or AK at this level. To be honest, I was pretty suprised that these players turned over KQ and K8 given the aggressive the betting to that point - I would have expected at least one of them to hold another A. Any thoughts on my play would be greatly appreciated - it hurt to fold 2 pair, but I feel I made the right play!

Re: Did I fold too early? I would never fold here. Your raise pre represents strong hand after one limp and you get two callers. You can eliminate AA, KK QQ, as they would pushed pre. Only hand to worry here is AK. If one of em got it's that just bad luck. You just can't fold in that spot, especially after putting nearly half of your stack in.
