Re: Folding pocket rockets pf
Okay, okay... this was not a good play. It happens. I would have to counter OrangeKing in the statement that being chip leader "means virtually nothing" in a ring game. In fact, having the big stack at the table is a huge assett, but you didn't get that big stack by making bad plays.
Now, when would be a reasonable time to fold the best hand? The only time I can think of is when you are positive that you have a better than 80% chance of beating the other player out of his or her chips in the long run. The only problem with this is that a player that has slid all the chips in is likely to keep doing it, especially if it worked against you the first time. So, I would almost never fold them.
Well... Imagine being at the end of the WSOP Main Event, there are three of you left and you are in the BB with AA. The under the gun player goes all-in and the button calls with an almost equal sized stack...
