    Default How often do you not fold this vs an unknown?

    No read. I'm guessing that the responses will "fold without a read"... just checking. The 5x preflop is fishy...

    - HERO sitting in seat 1 with $206.00
    - VILLAIN sitting in seat 2 with $220.20
    - czplaya sitting in seat 3 with $214.45
    - Hzon sitting in seat 4 with $200.00
    - jhgk sitting in seat 5 with $201.30 [Dealer]
    - ritziz sitting in seat 6 with $435.20

    ritziz posted the small blind - $1.00
    HERO posted the big blind - $2.00
    ** Dealing card to Henitruk: Queen of Diamonds, Queen of Clubs
    VILLAIN raised - $10.00
    czplaya called - $10.00
    Hzon folded
    jhgk folded
    ritziz folded
    HERO raised - $42.00
    VILLAIN went all-in - $210.20
    czplaya folded
    HERO...

    Really?

    Why?
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    What normally are the pushing hands all in preflop? Outside of the idiots being over-aggressive, its JJ-AA. I have been folding this preflop as I'm more likely behind than ahead.

    Although, are you priced in to call? $160 to call to win a $230 pot, You're looking at almost 1.5/1, I think I still lay this down.

    I hate this spot, but all the times I've called vs. a full stacl this has been AA/KK. I fold vs. unknown, but it can be an easy call with some sort of read or a really crazy table image.

    Your place or my place
    KK vs unknown I go
    QQ vs unknown I don't

    This has served me well.
