    14 players left in this year's WSOP Main Event - $10M up top.

    AQ finds a CORRECT fold on a KQ2Q2 board. Just 6 hand combinations beat him (3 of KK, and 3 of KQ), but still ....

    What’s the golden fucking rule? Leave yourself an out

    Assuming the video was straight forward on it … the snap all-in probably gives enough of a reason to exercise caution

    The KK is obviously the concern but losing to KQ also enters into the play despite all the blockers to it … I wouldn’t even consider pocket ducks

    It’s obviously a bit polarized but the snap call and snap all in after hitting trips just smells way too fishy

    Let's say the KK player has a naked Q instead. How is his line any different on the turn and river? Are we? expecting him to check-back the river?

    IMO yes it’s a different line but you and I play probably a little different in those spots

    Let’s say I’m pushing with the naked Q I’m getting 3 outcomes

    1) Opponent folds Kx or whatever bluff they were running … you’re winning a showdown there anyway with a call and those hands are never calling away their stacks

    2) You’re running into KK, 22, or KQ and you’re getting snap called and heading to the payout window … if you call your stack away and run into the ultimate cooler then so what

    3) The interesting scenario here with the over the top with a chopped Q hand is that if that’s your read then you’re calling off to chop

    My big consideration at that point is do I have enough chips behind with a fold to rebuild and move forward … if I do I tip my cap if you pushed me off my hand. Just don’t see the risk/reward in my favor to call it off there

    You have to watch it. Just reading what these guys posted, without watching the hand, makes it hard to visualize what they're talking about. Maybe not to a regular player, but to most of us.

    The part being missed here is if you DON'T call with Qx/2x enough, you are giving up piles of equity.

    There are definitely enough AA, AJ, AT, JT combos to justify a call w a naked 2.

    This is the part equity exposure vs game theory that make it an insanely difficult fold.




    *with regards to OP, 22 is a 7th, winning hand-combo available

    I don't know all the considerations. But if it's my hand, I'm telling myself that I have a full house with queens and twos, but with the king out there and two queens, there are solid possibilities that somebody has a better full house, or even a push. With that said, i probably wouldn't have folded.

    I take it as a complement that you don’t want me near that game
