Re: Sklansky would be proud
Could this be AA? Sure, but if you really want to assign logic to this line, you have to throw out KK. So, by folding you are saying that he can only have AA.
The beauty of folding, is that you can always think you are right. That is about the only value I see in the fold.

Re: Sklansky would be proud
I'm going to go against the grain and declare that I agree, this is very often AA. Neverthless, you've put in nearly a quarter of your stack already, you have the guy covered and there is an overlay because of OR's fold so this is going to have to be AA almost every time for a fold to be correct. I'm somewhat reminded of the Hank Azaria hand from last year's ME. By the time you can safely say this is AA, you're priced in. And this is not always AA by any means. You'll get shown all types of crap way enough to make a call profitable. Because you're button squeezing, see?

Re: Sklansky would be proud
[ QUOTE ]
what was the situation in which azaria folded KK to AA? [/ QUOTE ] Mon Jul 31 17:46:00 PDT 2006 Craziness at Table 127 Kevin "Lucko" O'Brien takes a big hit down to $7,200 when his opponent flops Quads. Shortly afterwards, Hank Azaria raises to $600 in middle position. Pete "The Beat" Giordano, raises him to $1,600. When the action gets around to Azaria, he re-raises to $5,600. Giordano immediately goes all-in and has Azaria covered. Azaria has $2,900 left, and he asks Giordano if he has Aces. Giordano says he doesn't know, but that he would like Azaria to stick around for awhile. Azaria is torn on his decision. He already has about 2/3 of his chips in the middle, but he hesitates to make a decision. The cameras swarm around him, and he eventually folds the KK face up. Giordano tells him he made a good decision, and turns over the AA. Michael Odeh, who is one table over, comes over to tell him what a great laydown he made. Someone tells Odeh that even celebrities can play, considering Rene Angelil made the same laydown earlier in the day. Unfortunately, Odeh doesn't know who Azaria is, and asks for his credits. Azaria doesn't seem to be in the mood, but he does a few voices from The Simpsons, including Chief Wiggum and Moe Sizlak. The next two hands, Azaria takes down both pots and builds himself right back up to $5,000 in chips. http://youtubepoker.blogspot.com/200...ing-kk_19.html

Re: Sklansky would be proud
Man I though I was a bad tourney player yeah sure it is aces 100% of the time for sure. Also I though this was a Brandi thread that possibly she made it in the money or something... Gosh
