Are you asking for general guidlines here or are you just interested in specific times people have laid them down Mr?

Yesterday, for the first time ever, I folded AA PREFLOP. Anyone care to guess the circumstances?

Did it on purpose. Very specific situation. And no, NOT the first table of the WSOP blah blah blah.

57th place paid the same as 1st... some kind of feeder/satellite?

Ding Ding Ding We have a winner.

Stage 1 satellite, top 20 move on to Stage 2. There are 21 left and I am 18th with about 8 BB left and I am the short stack at my table. Another table has the two shortest stacks. One of them only has <1 BB left and the BB is due to hit him on the very next hand. Easy fold, but it sure felt weird.

On the round before shorty was put all-in by the BB only to catch miracle trips and triple up. This was just after I had folded AQs. This time however shorty made the obligatory junk hand and we all moved on.

** Dealing Flop ** King of Spades Six of Hearts Nine of Spades
Ensano bets $3.
BILLEDWARDS2 calls $3.
hiLiClty folds.
** Dealing Turn ** King of Hearts
Ensano checks.
BILLEDWARDS2 bets $10.
Ensano folds.
BILLEDWARDS2 does not show cards.
BILLEDWARDS2 wins $20.10


Is is wise to make a blocking bet here, or is this an obvious check/fold.
Seems if villian was on a flush draw, he might have called to see a spade, by checking don't we hand this over on a silver platter?

Does anyone else play it differently?
