Yeah, thats a pretty good one.

#3 1st December 2009, 5:48 PM

wow that was a good fold folding a full house against a bigger full house. A good read by that player.

#4 1st December 2009, 6:00 PM

Maybe I'm just ignorant but I really don't see how that was a hard/good fold.. Seems more like an obvious fold to me also if you watch how they played from the start.

The board is A J K 10 10.. come on??

Maybe that is just me.

I agree, if hes been sitting there with that guy for quite a while, it just shows that hes great at picking up on players tells. He know the guy was on a bigger hand, why he obviously folded. It was a good fold, but an even better read.

The pocket jacks only lose to 3 hands - pocket tens, Aces, or Kings. Pocket jacks on the other hand beat a ton of big hands - any 10 except pocket 10s (trips / lower full house), pocket Qs (straight), AK (two pair).....

Tough fold.

I'd like to see them with that hand to see if they have mental speed and reading in a WSOP tournament, one hand can catapult you up

Seriously, from all the tough folds I've seen out their, I don't see how this should even be in that catagory. I've ran into enough hands like this online to know I'm beat.

Thats just me.

Good fold there, but I wouldn't say great considering the texture of the board.

#10 1st December 2009, 7:00 PM

Wow, what a great fold. It would be so hard for me to get away from that. But, he'd been sitting with that guy for awhile so I can see how he could have seen that.

#11 1st December 2009, 7:48 PM

i seen this

romanello lives not far from me, hes well known for his reads

but that was great

#12 1st December 2009, 8:49 PM

IcyBlueAce, it is a good fold. In a tournament aswell, 99% of people would have at least called, I know I would. If he'd have called it woulda been a good call, he made an excellent fold instead.

Guess I'm better than 99% of people.

Not saying it wasn't good, it just wasn't GREAT or the BEST.

#14 1st December 2009, 9:41 PM

Its certainly not an easy fold, perhaps not the greatest laydown ever, but I would guess that most would call if not raise.

#15 1st December 2009, 9:44 PM

must admit that was a great fold

#16 1st December 2009, 9:55 PM

It was a very good fold

Love Matusows reaction

Give me a break. Did you see Matusow's reaction ? And he is a PRO. I'm sorry, I have a hard time believing anyone would have folded there.

#18 2nd December 2009, 2:58 AM

sick fold, any1 here thinking it`s not a GREAT fold is a hypocrite

lol that was a pretty exagerated reaction.

#20 2nd December 2009, 3:14 AM

Shove pre

#21 2nd December 2009, 7:32 AM

How could any of you guys discount that fold? Oh my goodness. Sure the big pf bet showed some sign of strength, but come on flopping a set and turning it into a full house, no way I lay that down.

#22 2nd December 2009, 12:32 PM

I would have called.. If that makes me a donk or a fish or a fool then so be it.

#23 2nd December 2009, 12:41 PM

I agree,it was a great fold.

I was watching that hand televised on ESPN last year and i thaught this guy is stuffed.When he folded Great play.

#24 2nd December 2009, 11:56 PM

If I did that which I wouldn't I would be plagued with nightmares about that hand.

I think it was a good lay down i have seen alot of donks online and at tables push with a straight in similar card layout

#26 3rd December 2009, 2:22 PM

Wow, that was crazy to fold that! I don't think I would ever fold that, I'm just too stubborn! Even if I could read another player that good I would probably still put in my chips.

#27 3rd December 2009, 4:36 PM

Can't see myself folding on that hand. All I can say is he must have had a great read. Good on him!

#28 3rd December 2009, 6:40 PM

I mean, c'mon, He obviously had Jedi-Mind Matrix read on this guy.

But...

REGARDLESS of all that. That is a GREAT laydown. Because lets be honest with each other, ALOT of people would ignore their read and make the call even if they think they might be beat.

#29 3rd December 2009, 7:09 PM

It was a good fold. When your in a large buy-in like that tourney, you need to make those good decisions. If that was online with a small buy-in, I doubt very many people would fold that hand.

#30 3rd December 2009, 8:36 PM

It would have been hard for me to fold that, But that was a great fold
