Re: Angelo: Fastrolling

He didn't address the most important situation of all: when they announce a good hand you can't beat - i.e the angle-shooting situation. Dunno why.

All1N,
There are parts of my book (one of them is called “fastfolding”) that have some text about mucking. The excerpt published in the 2+2 magazine called “Fastrolling” is on the topic of showing. That’s why I didn’t put anything in there about mucking.
Just in case you’re interested, here’s what I do in the situation you asked about.
At the showdown, I don’t muck my hand until I know I am beat. If someone declares a hand that beats mine, and there remains a greater than zero chance that my hand could be better than his, then I don’t muck. The only exception is if I am playing at Artichoke Joe’s. The rule there is that if a player declares a hand, say, “I have a pair of kings,” and I muck my hand before he exposes any cards, and he cannot produce a hand that is a pair of kings or better, then I win the pot. At that casino, I will fastfold anytime I hear someone declare a hand that beats mine. Anywhere else, I do what I suspect you do too, and hold on to my cards until I know I am beat.
