Meh... I find a fold here but just barely

[WildBobAA]

You should fold but I'm a gambler so I'd probably push.

Here is the rest. It's nice to know I made the right play but too bad I didn't quadruple up. They all discounted each others hands. Can you believe this crap?

Good fold. Hate to do it, but ya gotta with that action and early.

[dalecooper]

Sick. I fold QQ there 100% of the time, but that's an unfortunate outcome.

[Fnord]

Yeah, you see AA/KK/QQ here way too often here, and quite often you'll lose with the best hand as well. Don't beat yourself up over this.

To play well you need to sometimes be willing to fold the best hand and call with pretty good second best hands. Particularly in in small/large pots.
