Pre-Flop Folds of Monster Hands

A very entertaining video compilation of some great pre-folds of monster and premium hands. Some are great folds while

others are questionable, yet you can always explain them with:
1. The guy was afraid of a bigger hand than his monster hand.
2. The guy didn't want to risk too many chips after the hard work in the tournament.

and so on...

Anyhow, I hope you enjoy the video and encourage you to comment and let's talk about it.

Do you recall your own pre-flop folds of monster hands?

Were they the correct fold or not?

Nice and very hard folds, I don't think that I would do the same.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

I wonder what went through the mind of the guy who folded to Raymer once he told him: "You probably didn't have kings or aces because you wouldn't have folded it."

Ouch...

why didn't you include the loose cannon folding pocket rockets in the big game? he would've been outfloped to quad sixes... man what a fold!

Horrible fold.

You have to be in those situations to see that desicion taking, and whether the issue of the amount of chips is important, as well as the hand. I just say you have to be at that time to see what would be done, risk or not ...

And the speech Raymer gave him after the hand was over...I wonder what went through his head when he realized the threw away the better hand.

Like I said, every fold can be understandable as it depends on a lot of factors and if you're willing to risk or not, if you're about to enter the money, bubble boy or deep in the cash, the play will be different even with these monster pocket pairs.
