most donkey play i've ever heard of.

I especially like where he throws out later in this thread the fact that he didn't get his big stack by making bad plays and that if he calls here and loses, he will lose his big stack which is such an asset. Jesus.

It's a call regardless of whether it's the WSOP ME or a $10 on 'Stars.

You play to win.

Sorry everyone is giving you such a hard time about this. But it is a terrible fold. Plug some of your oppoents' likely holdings into pokerstove and you'll see why. Even if you know for a fact that someone else has AA you should still call.

As someone already pointed out it is possible for your oppoents to have hands such that you should fold. But even if your oppoents held such hands calling would be a very small mistake. If they didn't hold those hands calling would be a very large mistake. So you'd have to be able to say your oppoents had the very unlikely holdings descibed by an earlier poster the vast majority of the time. Short of seeing your oppoents' cards this isn't possible.

Troll.

He states he was playing 1/2 NL and then states he was "chipleader" as if it was a tournament.

Completely irrelevant to whether or not such a play is good or bad.

I still stand by my "troll post" assesment though (aka this didn't happen)

I've never understood why trolling is fun.
