    Default Good Fold ?

    PokerStars, rebuy and addon, 3 hours and 10 minutes into the game.

    Good fold. If he's tight (which was your read at the time), it's hard to believe he's making this move with anything you dominate.

    If your read is correct, its a good fold. At best, its a coin flip. At the worst, you are dominated. Even if he is taking advantage of his "tight image".... it's a good fold. Jacks are deceiving
    Dealer: bencathers has two pair, Aces and Deuces
    Dealer: Tbags has two pair, Kings and Jacks
    Dealer: Tbags finished the tournament in 256th place

    You had so many chips that even if it was a total bluff and you were wrong - who cares? The fact that you aren't getting attached to a very good hand preflop and are trusting your reads is a good thing in the long run.

    Just the fact that he could flip over Qs is enough.

    To close to the money and too weak of a hand to call that all-in. Good fold. I'd call only if short-stacked.
