Laying down a monster

Any decent player can play a good hand well, trapping, check raising, ect but the difference between the good and the great is being able to pass.
Id like to see some examples of where and when you have passed seeming monster hands where u know you are behind, but dont just call to see you were right.

i folded aces on a - ad ah jd qd 4c board

bassically i soul read him for kd 10d and i was right

Huckle - nice post

Dicie - erm, interesting hand, but not really what huckle was asking for.... The guy who beat you was all in pre, and the guy who you folded to was behind and stayed there... lol.

Over - not disputing youre soul reavering (awesome game) but i think we may need some hand history back up loool

Made a nice fold a couple of weeks ago, after raising with QQ and getting a call from the table tightass, he bet out on the J73 flop, i reraised, and they couldnt shove quick enough. We were both quite deep, so I wasn't committed, and laid it down, he was nice enough to show me his AA. No hand history tho, and not that hard as he was playing uber tight for the previous hour, but as soon as i get the chance, i'll post a decent one

PUnnnnnnnnnnnnnnishhhhhhhhhhhhh

serious awnser

folded aces preflop twice, once in a super sat which is standard

the other 5 handed on final table of 35k 10 r/b on ipoker. i was chip leader and had half the chips in play and my friend beside me who was a maths wiz told a fold was the correct move when 3 of the 4 pushed allin and i had aces on the big blind. i would have won the pot but looking back it was still the right move (money making wise). ended up finishing 2nd for 4.5k or sumthin

Yep, have seen aces folded pre, im sure it was the weekly final for the cruise in 07'....

2 short stacks at it, 7 seats, on bubble, im sure it was waiverbridge that folded AA...
