  1. #1

    Default Standard Fold?

    I play mostly cash games but like to dabble w/ the low buyin tournaments. This is a $3 freeze on stars. Standard Fold?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

    UTG (t2963)
    UTG+1 (t3540)
    MP1 (t1195)
    MP2 (t1022)
    Hero (t2805)
    CO (t1820)
    Button (t2335)
    SB (t4860)
    BB (t1050)

    Preflop: Hero is MP3 with A, K.
    UTG raises to t2963, 7 folds, BB calls t1000 (All-In).

    Flop: (t4038) 7, 8, Q (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Turn: (t4038) 7 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    River: (t4038) 6 (2 players, 1 all-in)

    Final Pot: t4038

    Results in white below:
    BB has As Ac (two pair, aces and sevens).
    UTG has Qh Qd (full house, queens full of sevens).
    Outcome: UTG wins t4038.

    Unless you've got a read, easy lay-down. With the blinds that low, he gets almost nothing from stealing them, and any non-monster he probably would like to at least see the flop.

    If it's a maniac, good chance you're racing or smashing him.

    Any other player, I'd get the hell out of the way.

    I really had no informaion except that he was aggressive and was all in the previous hand w/ ATo.

    AKs is a great hand to push with and an ok hand to call with. The fold was correct here with no read (give him the benefit of the doubt) and no need to double up right now with the blinds so low. If this was a turbo tourney where the blinds are going up every 6 minutes - a call becomes much more likely.
