to recap:

1. You post a hand where you folded
2. All of the good players tell you that you should have called
3. You reply that the answer is "folding is ok" and that villain put you on a pocket pair

ty all the answer i think folding is ok here, i played tight and im quite sure that he put me on a pocket.

How are you "quite sure" of this ?

If you're "quite sure" that villain put you on a PP shouldn't you also be "quite sure" that he has AK, AQ, even AJ ?

If villain has AA KK QQ, why would he throw it all in immediately ? Isn't there a better way for him to extract value from your lesser PP ?

If villain has a middle PP, why would he throw it all in on a wild ass guess that his PP is better than yours ?

2 limpers. Raising to 500 in standard. Nothing particularly wrong with 400 though.

the stack sizes make it seem like this is 100r in the rebuy period.

So have autocall clicked before it gets to you.
