Default Re: Folding pocket rockets pf

True story.
Foxwoods $5/$5 no limit.
A guy comes to the table with $1000(minimum is $500, no cap, most bring $5k or more,big stack usually has 20k+)
and after ten hours or so builds his stack up to over 8k.
His wife walks by and says "We're going to leave in 15 minutes or so." and he says ok. A few hands later someone makes it $25, and he makes it $100 fold back to raiser, who makes it $500, the guy goes $1000 and the other guy immediately says all in, he has him covered.
After about five minutes(which is a LONG time) of deliberation, he turns over pocket aces and says "It's just not worth it." and folds.

To illustrate how stupid people are, there is much debate over whether or not this is a good play. Mostly from middle aged men who play their hands according to what the flop has been coming up.
