Hello players. Man, lately I've been doubling up because whenever I've slowplayed and I've also noticed that the deck punishes players who slowplay these pocket hands.Do you ever fold

Yes with deep stacks and heavy action like there is an UTG open, an UTG+1 3-bet, a HJ 4-bet, I sit on BTN with AK, and we are 50+ BB deep. Or as the mid stack on the bubble of a SnG. Lets say we are 3 players left in a 6-man SnG, and 2 places pay. BTN has 3BB and folds, SB has 35BB and jam, and action is on me with a 10BB stack. Then AK is a fold, because even if SB is on a range of any two cards, AK dont have enough equity to compensate for the fact, its a disaster for me to bust and not cash, while BTN is still hanging around with such a short stack.

Once you've figured out how to use the starting hand chart, you should be pretty confident preflop. Choosing the right starting hands is half the road to success, and many players are throwing money away at this stage. They play too many hands and they just don't know when it's best not to get involved in a fight. If you play according to the starting hand chart, carefully choose the starting hands you play, you can avoid many difficult and unpleasant decisions post-flop. Especially at low limits, a lot of money is lost just in those situations where the player simply does not know how to act, being still an inexperienced player. "Pass - saved money" - that's your motto while you're still learning.Personally, I do not reset and go to the end.

it depend of the structure and how much BB i have and also how much there are player left in the hand, and also opponents actions preflop. For sure i can be folding these hands but most of time i will say 70% of the time you have to play them and also play them agressively

It's a good question that has several answers because we can't determine our play just by looking at the cards we have in our hand. What stage of the game are we at? What is our position? How many people entered the hand? What is the bet size? How big is our stack compared to other players? All of this has to be weighed and measured before deciding to pay or fold.

Folding pocket pairs preflop is a difficult decision, as they have a lot of potential to make big hands. However, there are certain situations where it may be correct to fold them.
One important thing to consider is your position at the table. If you are in early position (first few seats to the left of the dealer), it may be more correct to fold pocket pairs as there are many players yet to act who could potentially have a stronger hand. In contrast, if you are in late position (closer to the dealer), you have more information about the other players' actions and may be able to make a more informed decision.
Another important factor to consider is the players at the table. If you are playing against tight and aggressive players, it may be more correct to fold pocket pairs as they are less likely to pay you off with a weaker hand. On the other hand, if you are playing against loose and passive players, you may be able to get more value out of your pocket pairs.
It's also worth considering the board texture and the likelihood of making a strong hand with your pocket pair. For example, if there are a lot of higher cards on the board, it's less likely that your pocket pair will be the best hand, so you might want to fold it.
In general, it's important to always consider the specific situation at the table and use your best judgement when deciding whether to fold pocket pairs preflop.
To answer the specific question, folding or even preflop is a difficult decision and it depends on the factors mentioned above, position, players and the likelihood of making a strong hand. When you're in early position against tight-aggressive players, it might be better to fold, while in a late position against loose-passive players, you may be able to get more value out of your pocket pairs.

Making decision to fold a premium hand preflop should be based on your table position. Example, if your holding QQ and 3 other players go all in before you.... Then it might be a good decision to lay them down

Yes, I have folded and most of the time it depends on my position at the table and my stack.
If I'm the chip leader and I'm sitting on CO or BTN, I might take the risk of calling or going all in, if there aren't too many villains trying to steal the pot.

Imagine this situation. You are in live poker tournament and entry was 150€, first hand, you get QQ and before you two of them go all in (preflop). I would fold. I would be pissed but I don't want to be out of tournament on first hand.
I would even think to fold it on Monthly freeroll, in first several hands.
So, it depends on situation where, when...etc, etc
