Message: [QUOTE="BM0529, post: 1711272, member: 34051"] I've done it twice and both times I'd have lost...the first time was a legit fold decision, the 2nd time was stupid and moronic but it was correct nonetheless...first time I was nearing the money in a tourney and player in 2nd position raised about 5XBB...there were 2 callers following him, it gets to me in the cutoff and I have Aces...I look at the stacks of the 2 callers (both of which are maybe 10-15 XBB at best and at the point where they should be shoving and not calling raises) and am almost sure that if I shove my short stack the initial raiser is going all-in and that at least one is going to call if not both and I may be going 4 way to the flop with Aces...I fold...the flop comes Q-7-5...initial raiser checks, turn is a blank, he then bets...fold...fold...initial raiser shows QQ...thank goodness...the other 2 players did not want to say what they had but it ultimately did not matter since I'd have lost to the QQ barring a miracle Ace on the river which we never saw. 2nd case is bizarre and was in a 1-2NL cash game...I limped with AA in 1st position with the intention of raising any raise...it looked like a busted trap til it reached the young lady in the BB who raised to 12$...at this point I'm licking my chops since I know she's got at least JJ and more likely KK or QQ...I raise to 35$...guy in mid-position thinks for about 2 minutes and calls...back to the initial BB and she goes all in for 220$....at this point I sit back and my initial plan is to think for awhile in order to get the other player to call hoping he maybe has 10s or JJ....the more I think something keeps telling me not to play the hand...after about 2 minutes I muck it...other guy calls instantly ( he had 90$ left)...flips over J-10 suited...woman has KK...flop is J-10-8...he outflops her and of course would have outflopped me too...turn is a 9...River a Q and she goes runner runner for the straight...nobody believed me whe I told them I folded AA on a total gut feeling...nevertheless, stupidest best fold I've ever made.
