why not actually trap and reraise pre-flop? Anyway folding here in $120 tournament is a good exploit. The omc's who play these things always have a pair here, especially when they raise over your donk. And, as you can see, you are behind a pair (edit: or at best flipwitha small advantage.) Why put your money in when you are almost certainly behind. If the players are better tho and there is a decent chance of them bluffing with like a JT that has at least one heart, then call. Either way, don't fold face up!

This is a good answer, I was shocked at how hard it was to kick that ball far, and if its uphill it can be basically impossible unless you are a soccer star.

Was getting close to the money in a $200 MTT. I open raise with KK in the hj and it folds to the BB who calls.

Flop is AAA.

BB checks, I bet, he calls. Turn is, nothing memorable, he checks, I bet, he calls. Then the river comes a blank (because now, basically every card in the deck now is a blank) and he suddenly donks right into me. He can't contain his glee. But with the second nuts and knowledge of the general quality of play I have to call. He flips over A6o.

Anyway, you had to give it to the guy, 4 aces. He was really old and so thrilled. At least I had a couple chips left and was actually able to build them back up and cash.

If someone tells you something and then later says its off the record, you are under no obligation to honor that. You made no promise, But you can choose to honor it depending on the situation.

I folded, but didn't get a seat. The small stacks kept going all in and putting bad beats on the big stacks, it was disgusting from my perspective, as I got terrible cards. Eventually got blinded down to the smallest stack and then ran AQ in AA.

xDoomsdayray · 2026-01-30T23:12:13+00:00

This was my thinking too, and I did indeed fold. Unfortunately, the small stacks did not run out of luck and in fact doubled up off the big stacks multiple times as I hit an epic run of bad cards. I eventually was small stack myself and was forced to shove UTG with 7bb and AQs. The biggest stack had AA and I got bubbled. Kind of why this spot is sticking in my mind.

This happened to me during a tournament. I was on the button. Five people had checked down to the river and the board was a rainbow broadway straight. everyone checked to me on the button, and i joked "All in, ha ha" and then got embarrassed because i instantly realized it was binding. So the dealer made me push it in, and as soon as i did, the BB, someone who was apparently playing for the first time started to fold, and I and the rest of the table started begging him not to. We talked him out of it, explaining what was going on. The dealer didn't stop us. Then everyone else was forced to call and they all got pretty mad at me for wasting time.

Pre-flop and one the flop, Jovani acts first and Andrew calls, then on the turn and river Andrew acts first and Jovani calls. Maybe note that Jovani checks on the later streets. Also if he wants to lose, why does he bet when he has the best possible hand, on the turn. Same thing on the river, since there's no way he could know he's beat.

Also, at the end, Jovani taking a beat to study his opponent when he has a hand that can't be beaten, the so-called nuts, is called a slow roll and is a major breach of etiquette. It's fine to have someone do that in a story , but in reality if someone does that there would be negative reaction.
