Not really a big fold but a good fold nonetheless. Very few opponents are capable of taking this line with worse (and the ones that are are either really good or really bad). I would never call this against anybody who I believe to be inbetween those two.

I've taken this line before with a hand like 88-TT, against an aggressive villain that will fire 2-3 barrels. I don't think we ever get raised by a bluff, and we avoid calling a pot sized bet if we're committed to showing down. There are some issues with this line, but if we just don't know about his frequencies for betting the river with better or worse hands, the block seems useful.

I know I'm not a really good player, but I don't think I'm bad either. Thoughts on my thoughts?

i like how everyone before his reply says good fold and everyone after says clear blocking bet...

Re: 400nl big fold vs. tufts
 

fwiw i think "blocking" this river with 88-TT is terrible. i had 66 and it was 100% a bluff in my mind. flame away...

this is a pretty bad play with 66 although i guess it worked, op might have had the player wrongly described, since its really rare to see normal tags show up with 66 and stuff here.

Re: 400nl big fold vs. tufts
