[b]Would I ever fold Pocket Rockets pre-flop?[/b]

[FONT=Verdana]The short answer is yes.

If there are issues of being in or near the bubble, and several (lets say three) people have gone "all in" or made heavy bets, I would fold. Why?

Because heads up you have about a 75% chance of winning. This means 1 out of 4 times your aces will be cracked. Now if several people are going all in, with some small stacks and one or two big stacks, your odds have narrowed, and you have to think more carefully about calling (or raising!). If it means you are closer to the money (or whatever you are going for), you fold, it doesn't matter what you are holding. That to me is the difference between a gambler and a poker player.

As some say, play the game, play the players, but don't let the cards play you. (If you are trying to figure out who said this, it was me, just now).

It sounds to me like you played your position well, absorbed all the facts and then made a decision - I'd like to think I may have done the same as you.

Peace,

Scouse.[/FONT]
