    Default Bad fold? ($11 1-table)

    Blinds had just went up to 200/400. I guess my first mistake was to not push preflop (didn't want to from EP with a "healthy" stack, but yeah only 6BB, meh), and the second one was not to call the push leaving me deep in the red zone in panic mode.

    NL Texas Hold'em $11 USD Buy-in Trny: 34429994 Level: 5 Blinds(200/400) - Wednesday, July 11, 21:12:00 ET 2007

    Dont post results, but given you've put 1600 chips in already, and you only need to call 1300 chips into a 6,500 pot I think this was a bad fold.
    Just dipping my toes back in.

    quoted for truth..

    One mistake generally leads to another in a hand.

    As played i think i just shurg, call it off and fire up another one.

    One key thing when making decisions in poker is not to compound your mistakes. As you pointed out, and sorry to be harsh, but you made a pretty serious mistake by not open pushing preflop, but then to fold even after two pushes when you've put in 2/3 of your stack and are getting almost 7:1 on the call is even worse.

    You knew it when you posted, but I feel the need to emphasise the fact that 6BBs is far from healthy.12BBs yeah OK think about a standard raise, but 6? Push/fold is definately in effect here, if that means you have to make some tough folds from EP, so be it (don't fold this though obv.)
