Thank you Cardschat "Good Fold"

#1 3rd August 2009, 2:34 PM

Thanks to this forum while playing poker instead of going out early or being a donk I'm now seeing alot of consistency in my game and am hearing compliments from other players. It dawned on me how much my game has changed when a player told me "good fold". (3xbet with AKs, K-9-2-7 rainbow on the board, got reraised big and folded, he showed pocket 9's)

To me saving myself that 2500 chips in a sit n' go is better then winning 3-4000.
Basically I'm a fish and I'm thanking you guys for improving my game so one day I can hope to evolve to something a little more ferocious .

I find that alot of people online just cant get away from AK. Even without a pair they'll call you down. So thats definately a good start.

Well, if you are getting re-raised, you need to think that something's wrong... But AK is my favorite card, and I can only fold it rarely.
