    Default Should Fold ?

    This hand knocked me out of a tourney when I was sitting 12th but finished 25th (22 spots paid).
    Would you do the same thing or fold on the all-in bet?

    A mistake made in the past is not as important as the lesson learned from it.

    What I would of done differently is preflop. You had about 8 blinds (?), a min raise will often get a call from bb. (Hopefully I read that right and thats what happened) I would of just pushed allin preflop. Don't think he would of called then. Maybe after bubble I'd try to trap like you did, but before bubble, I'm not taken that chance. That's me anyway.

    I love folding aces, specially when it can make me money by doing it.

    As someone else said, I would have moved all in preflop, but he still may have called.

    This is what you want with aces (my opinion). All in and 1 caller. You will win this hand much more than you will lose it. Variance got you that time.

    Plus, a loose calling station who luckboxes with J-2s??? He will not make it in the long run playing garbage like that. Just my opinion here. You got your money in good, you just got sucked out. Peace.

    I just looked at HH again. I can't believe villain pushes all in post flop. The guy is a total sucker, he should have lost his ass for that, but he sucks out. I would have just pushed preflop. The donkey probably still would have called though.

    Peace.

    he thinks you're bluffing and if you aren't he only loses 1/3 of his stack, he thinks his pair of 2s is good as you are big blind and shoving (? is that the expression?) anyway, trying to push him out of the running...he really lucks out with the rest of the board...tough one

    I disagree with you here bean, I don't think the guy played that bad, it was a min raise preflop, he was bb, with J 2 I would of folded preflop but just for a min raise I can't say it was awful to call and see what the flop brought. Then he hits the 2, maybe figures other guy has A (just 1) and can win pot with push. Like I said, I wouldn't of played it that way but I can understand it, and I don't think he would of called a push preflop, just guessing though.

    Yes, he obviously thinks Enno has something...usually an A off, or maybe K etc if he is a risk taker, but he feels his pair has won the day...and he's lucky it did in duplicate and triplicate

    If it's any consolation I just got knocked out of a freeroll slow playing pocket aces cos i couldn't find an all in button, guess it was just go max and then it shows up...the villain had a pair of pocket 7s and hit his 7 on the flop...

    fantastic!...i love poker!

    grumble, mutter, scowl

    The only rap Your getting is that you should have maybe raised more or even ALL IN preflop just to get his 500 BB and save your 250 SB plus any ante,s.As pointed out its a dangerous time (near bubble) to try trapping a Big STack.It was a bad flop too with a pair of 4,s on the board.He probably put you on high cards and thought you would fold.
    But YES I would definately have called too.You said you were in 12th spot and if you doubled up to 14k I bet you would have moved up to 5th or 6th and given yourself a good chance to win or a much higher placing for a good pay-out.One Big win is better than just placing for 4 small wins imo so I say Go for it there for sure.
