folding monster pairs preflop?


Recommended Posts

After a bad night of losing some pretty big pots when holding monster pairs AA KK and QQ. I started asking myseld should I have folded them Pre-flop? I was playing a limit $4-$8, and fealt most of my opponnents were decent players and have had experience with them before. Im curious if anyone can think of a situation in which you would fold your monster pair in a limit game (position, or otherwise)? I would also like to hear from those who play No limit, if you can describe a scenerio or if you have done this? I know it must be near impossible to throw away AA, but were do you draw the line? Is it JJ that, after a 3 bet capped preflop that you lay down your pocket pairs? Thanks for your reply, I am really intrigued by someone who could ligitimately explain a KK lay down pre-flop. [/b]

David Chiu laid down KK preflop in the first tourney of champions. His opponent showed AA.In a tournament a few nights ago I nearly laid down QQ. I should have, as it turned out, I was up against KK.

You can lay down QQ and KK in a No-Limit Game or tourney with the right read.You should NEVER as wrto says, NEVER fold AA-QQ in a limit game.

If you're facing a 4 bet in a table full of rocks QQ is an easy lay down.
I still wouldn't, I'd the the cheap 4 bet at the beginning hoping to spike a queen...

i don't think you can justify laying down kk preflop personally unless you miraculously or non-miracoulously maybe have some kind of ultra-read on your opponent and know he's got the bulletts. that's just me though

about the tournament of champions post, were talking limit here. i can see throwing them away in no-limit for various reasons. but in limit, no way in hell. the tournament of champions is no limit right?

Your implied odds for when your set hits is way too high to lay it down PF in limit, its a bad fold, take a flop
