Re: Massive Hero fold

results?

Button called with top 2 and of course BB had the clubs. At the time I was so sure that I would have even folded if the pot was 50BBs or 75BBs. It was that clear to me. Still, I realized I had to sweat for a couple seconds of the time after I folded and before the cards were shown down. Because I sweated it, I figured hmm, maybe it's not worth the satisfaction of making a tight fold and I really should just pay off. Even though I'm never good.
I think what it is is there's a pyhrric victory to "owning" BB here by not paying him off even 1BB when he makes his hand, and that psychological boost may be why we make hero folds. But the tilt that might be induced by the bizarre scenario in which our hand would have been good could outweigh that, thus arguing for a call here. Hard to say, really.
