Default Re: Discuss: Book Excerpt form Tournament Poker for Advanced Players

I have a question about #11. If you are going to fold here (which I don't really have a problem with), then why did you call preflop? To me this is just as much a preflop question as postflop, because what did you expect to hit exactly? An ace, and lose chips to a great player who raised with AK? You are not going to make much money off him if he raised with KK or QQ. A flush draw, since your hand was suited? Well, now you're thinking of folding. A Q high flop, when he might have AA or KK? How about just flopping the nut flush? Well, I wouldn't recommend calling big raises with the hope of flopping flushes, or trip Qs for that matter (trip aces isn't going to help you a whole lot, given the preflop risk and postflop reward.)

I guess what I'm saying is that if you're thinking of folding here, you shouldn't have seen the flop.
