Re: If only they were aces...

Gee, show me some ranges of hands where a fold is correct. Or at least show me some ranges where folding is only a slight error and give me a good reason why I should pass up this edge. (And no, "he might have me dominated" is not a good reason to pass up an edge.)

Right, last post on this subject, and remember this is my opinion on this particular situation:
Firstly i play a lot of live poker and my mind isn't as agile as it could be with the maths involved preflop - I gave up on my statistical analysis when I discovered my crystal ball was faulty!
I know here 10's against 2 hands aint all that, hence my approach relys on me reading situations rather than hard figures. I am not disputing the plays being suggested and the figures being quoted - but as I said earlier, chasing 2 raises with 10's when there's a danger of denting my chip stack big time is a no-go for me full stop. Obviously there are times to make a play depending on chipstack and amount of hands - but here when I'm in good shape, no. Generally with 2 raises before me I don't care what they are on, I'll sit back and let them play. If I'm in the closing stages of a tournament I'm looking to open or push against 1 opponent with 10's and if I have people behind so be it but I've made my move on my terms not someone elses which is important to me. I look at the situation and if the guy is making a steal? So what! We all do it and think we're the nuts when we get away with it. My time will come and come soon to make a steal or 2. Chasing is one sure way to bust out. The situation stinks hence I'm out. Yeah - I'm as tight as a rats ass at times! So what?! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
