why fold?

i´ve been playing a mtt, where a guy was suddenly paying any bet, he didn´t raise he didn´t fold, he just called, no matter the size of bet, he called, no matter the number of players he called, no matter his hole cards he called, but also he was winning big pots so he managed to pile a good stack fast and early,

suddenly after severeal hands playing the same way this guy fold, yes he fold when he just had to call a small bet (a blind), and i asked to myself, why fold? i mean this guy just beat with 4-6o aces and kings, this guy holding K2 beat Ak and some other hands where he started well behind to finish carrying the pot with him,

so what hole cards could make a calling station in big good luck streak to fold?

Some players like to play fast and loose early in an effort to build a big stack and try to use that stack to be a chip bully. This is especially true in rebuy tourneys and in some cash games where it's obvious the table is full of tight players. As for the way you describe his type of play, he sounds like a bad player.

As for folding to a small bet, you're right that it doesn't make sense, but you're really wasting your time trying to figure it out. Barry Greenstein once said,

"You can't figure out what a bad player is doing, because he doesn't know what he's doing."

Totally agree with what roninmac said above, Ive noticed a lot of people who try and build a very big stack in the beginning and either do it or go out early. If they build a stack they play a little tighter to preserve it.

you did not mention stakes, this is especially true in freerolls and micros.

Just hope that you get a monster hand before he doubles up or gets knocked then re-raise, and hope that the hand holds up. Nothing much better else you can do.

AA no matter wat

joke aside it was a misclick I bet my entire BR...
this is the reason why you opened this thread, right?? to bet on it??
what's the odds for the bet ??? don't see other reasons for such as an useless thread and question. Isn't it??

I think a player as described above may get a big stack once in a while and cruise thru to the final table bullying along the way and even possibly win a few, however I don't believe will ever be a consistent poker player and continue to make final tables with that strategy, the consistent smart and aggressive player will make alot more money in the long run! I do agree tho with a re-buy it is a different storey and a sound strategy to invest a certain amount of buy-ins in the attempt to build a monster stack and try to dominate.
Really depends on what your playing doesn't it.

I second this opinion. I really think it was just a misclick. Are you sure he didn't time out too? It could have been something like a small connection issue or he had to do something really fast. One more possibility is that he was tilting and finally got it under control by winning a bunch of pots.

why fold

This is why you don't bluff in freerolls or against bad players because there to stupid to fold.

why fold

I know I posted earlier about people being to stupid to fold but I do remember a
pro player named Gavin smith talking about flat calling,I don't know if this is what your talking about,but I don't think many people besides gavin can make that work.

Maybe he had something like 2-7 and he fold and maybe he was playing loose early, he catch some chips and change tactics. Sometimes you need change tactics because people don't know what types of hand you play. What type of mtt's was it?

Should have asked him. Doubt anybody here can answer that. But I suggest you not to try this technique. Probably he got lucky when you saw this, but most of the time when your hand is weak on the flop it will be weak on the turn or the river and you just will be wasting stacks. It might be his strategy, he might find it profitable, but I cant see it that way.

i think its two oportunity whay he fold. or he want to show to he play only if he is samthing or he just make mistang and fold not call... i am bee that situacion to want call but make fold just mistake....

He had to pee.......
