Default Re: With deep stacks, I always fold top pair!


In thinking this over, I'm amazed at the number of players here who are saying, essentially, "All you beat is a bluff. He could be bluffing. Call."

It's true. It could be a bluff. It could be a simply horribly played AJ. Let's assume, for a second, that villain is competent (not always the safest assumption, of course) - that's just an awful couple of cards on the turn/river.

The more I read this hand and the arguments therein, I like how you played it, Ansky, and I'm a big fan of the disciplined fold. I don't know if I'd be able to make this fold, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be laid down.
