Folding the best hand...

Postby MVPSPORTS » Tue May 24, 2005 11:51 pm

Just got home from a CRAZY B&M game, which was actually on a boat (is it still called B&M?)... Its the kind of game where, I think for like 15 hands in a row, at a 1/2NL, there was a PF raise to about $15-20, always with a couple callers...Anyways, this hand happened to me, and it got me thinking that maybe I'm a little too weak...

I have about $450 in a $100 max game... Villian has around $300...

Dealt [10s] [9s] in UTG+1... I limp... some idiot who's been raising everyfreakinthing, raises to $15... This doesn't actually mean he has anything other than Kanything or Aanything, as PF raises were apparently the chapter of whatever poker book they read they all missed... I call, both other limpers call...

Flop [10d] [9c] [2d] ... I bet out $50, which is pretty close to the pot... PF raiser calls, other two fold...

Turn [Ad] ... I bet $50 (too weak?), he raises allin, for about another $200 or so... I think for a while, and fold my 2 pr... He shows A5, no diamonds...

These are definitely the kind of guys that play any king or ace, but I was really afraid of the flush, since these guys have been chasing all night...

I had a flashback to something one of the BTPers said (I don't remember who, so I apologize for not giving credit) ... "I'd rather fold with the best hand 10% of the time than call w/ the 2nd best hand 90% of the time..." I really think that I play this way... I was SURE I was better than these guys, and figured I'd get him later rather than sooner... The problem w/ this approach is that, as in this case, I can occasionally be pushed off my hand...

Do you think that this approach is too weak...?
