ACTUARY: I'm not sure you understand any type of strategy within the game of poker (nor can you comprehend what you read - sorry to be rude read the post again)... or stop responding to the thread.


This is funny.

Actuary bio - 10,000 strategy posts, most of which are dead on, well considered and useful.

WowThats bio - 42 posts, most of which show a serious lack of understanding of strategy and show a dogmatic belief that his word is law and that every respected theorist on here is wrong.


Please, if you can show me/us just one case of where is is correct to fold AA preflop as a chipleader in a normal tournament then please do. Thus far you have merely given an example of where you wrongly folded QQ and afterwards appeared justified in your actions because you would have been outdrawn, and an example of folding AA on the bubble of a satellite.

You probably think that folding QQ to JJ is the right move if you look through the deck and see that a J would have hit.

I think you need to go for the double up here. By folding your giving away positicve equity.

And btw. None of you have are so good that you should be laying this down.

No it makes even less sense, and it's still not funny.

QQ is not AA.

Fold AA in a flat payout structure, Yes...Never anytime else PF.

Past results are not a guarantee of future returns. You should have played your QQ in that situation unless you really are convinced they are holding one of the two hands that are ahead of you PF.
