Do you ever fold AK or even QQ (preflop) ?

[Gallarado777]

it's very hard to throw away such hands, I can throw it away once in 400 hands, but it's very rare that I don't want to throw such a hand at all and who does it great fellows

 

[Slow Horse]

I wouldnt fold. I've raised the pot with much less than these. Recebtly I've came to all in pre flop with KK in hands, and lost it

 

[James2023]

Depending on the situation. If there is alot of good people in the pot I might think to fold akx. but if it were suited I would atleast have that to bail me out with 68% chance all in on the preflop. QQ on the other hand has about a 80% shot, but no one can determine the flop so more people in the hand the more your odds decrease but at the same time its a larger pot. all or nothing comes with huge rewards, thats why playing with 1% of your bankroll makes the game more enjoyable. play like a animal but do it where it wont crush you when you lose.

 

[Mohamed48]

Yes, but not always, depending on the type of play and time

 

[Xcalibur]

Sometimes you have to use the dough

 

[samuri]

QQ I might fold but not ace king. All depends on what the bets are and by what type of player.

 

[andron205]

when 10 tickets and I have my first pile

 

[Tadi]

Yeah, a couple of times. Most often if I am near the ITM or when I provided a ticket on the satellite. I used to fold even in the early stages of the tournament when multiple players invested everything.

 

[alabos]

That happen yes when couple of player raise and someone bet put me all in i could fold a-k but not qq

 

[BLMonteiro]

Do you ever fold or even (preflop) ? And if so, then in which cases?

With AK I try to be sensible and bet low until the flop is dealt, but going all in pre flop is a bit risky, but not a bad hand. now with QQ the same, it is better to wait and go easy until the flop opens

 

[dzsire]

The two hands are not the same.
A QQ on a flop where A, K comes can already be folded with a high probability.
An AK is another matter, but if there are already a few all-in, then it is quite a big gamble to get in with it, risking your entire game up to that point. It depends on the situation/amount of chips/stage of the tourney.

 

[Baldy86]

in a cash game i would fold AK and maybe even QQ to a tight player who shoves All In after i reraised him . in tournaments NO IF i am short stacked no matter what . and YES MAYBE when i have a very good read on my opponent and when i am pretty sure he has KK or AA

 

[labatho]

AK could be an easy fold in preflop, when you are the last, who talks, and there are more than 3 participatian. Then you could count with A's in hands (mostly) or pairs, which predicts your handycap. QQ also could be in a bad situation, its hard to pass, but sometimes its neccessary to stay in the game. When you dont wanna be a bubbleboy in a huge event maybe.

 

[hobojim1247]

yeah I do and I have , but not very often and it is only against players I know and have a history with.

 

[miriancastro]

for sure, when I'm close to the money and some villain with a bigger stack comes all-in
