Do you ever fold AK or even QQ (preflop) ?

Gallarado777 · Jan 25, 2023

it's very hard to throw away such hands, I can throw it away once in 400 hands, but it's very rare that I don't want to throw such a hand at all and who does it great fellows

I wouldnt fold. I've raised the pot with much less than these. Recebtly I've came to all in pre flop with KK in hands, and lost it

James2023 · Jan 25, 2023

Depending on the situation. If there is alot of good people in the pot I might think to fold akx. but if it were suited I would atleast have that to bail me out with 68% chance all in on the preflop. QQ on the other hand has about a 80% shot, but no one can determine the flop so more people in the hand the more your odds decrease but at the same time its a larger pot. all or nothing comes with huge rewards, thats why playing with 1% of your bankroll makes the game more enjoyable. play like a animal but do it where it wont crush you when you lose.

Yes, but not always, depending on the type of play and time

Sometimes you have to use the dough

QQ I might fold but not ace king. All depends on what the bets are and by what type of player.

when 10 tickets and I have my first pile

Tadi · Mar 28, 2023

Yeah, a couple of times. Most often if I am near the ITM or when I provided a ticket on the satellite. I used to fold even in the early stages of the tournament when multiple players invested everything.

With AK I try to be sensible and bet low until the flop is dealt, but going all in pre flop is a bit risky, but not a bad hand. now with QQ the same, it is better to wait and go easy until the flop opens

The two hands are not the same.
A QQ on a flop where A, K comes can already be folded with a high probability.
An AK is another matter, but if there are already a few all-in, then it is quite a big gamble to get in with it, risking your entire game up to that point. It depends on the situation/amount of chips/stage of the tourney.

in a cash game i would fold AK and maybe even QQ to a tight player who shoves All In after i reraised him . in tournaments NO IF i am short stacked no matter what . and YES MAYBE when i have a very good read on my opponent and when i am pretty sure he has KK or AA

labatho · Mar 29, 2023

AK could be an easy fold in preflop, when you are the last, who talks, and there are more than 3 participatian. Then you could count with A's in hands (mostly) or pairs, which predicts your handycap. QQ also could be in a bad situation, its hard to pass, but sometimes its neccessary to stay in the game. When you dont wanna be a bubbleboy in a huge event maybe.

yeah I do and I have , but not very often and it is only against players I know and have a history with.

miriancastro · Mar 29, 2023

for sure, when I'm close to the money and some villain with a bigger stack comes all-in
