I was about 90% sure at least one of the other big stacks in the hand had me beat (little did I know they both had me), but was I right to fold when it got back around at this price.

If I go ahead and push I'm the chip leader after this hand, and as it turned out the cards went cold on me, I lost a couple of races, and was done in 14th, which was a difference of about $3700 from 1st.

I'm not upset that I folded so much as I'm upset that I didn't put enough thought into it before I did it. I just kind of reacted to my read.

nice fold

tyou raise
theres a raise
an all in
another all in

i dont mind folding the Queens. You still have a big stack. You shoul dbe able to steal back 3xBB easily.

[bencathers]

You are re-raised. Someone calls the re-raise. Then someone re-raises the re-raise. And a call.

Yes. This is when you fold queens. Ignore the results.... just because a queen came means nothing. You are beat. Queens aren't that strong when this type of action. With all the action, you have the AK people in there... and then it becomes a coin flip. QQ loses too much value in a multi-way flop. Do not sweat it. This is a very strong move in the long term

Good fold. Tough to lay down the queens, but you made a great read and were not only up against one big hand, but two.

[Miffed22001]

Mighty good laydown. Great discipline
In comparison to my stack its an easy fold with all the action/money being played behind me.
My concern here is that at least AA or KK are out there therefore im behind. Still the pot is sweet...

[chardrian]

You folded Qs???!!! What a sucker!! You woulda quadrupled up and been the huge major maniac force. What a dumb play!!

Your read was right, you reacted to it - good play.
