Is this the greatest fold in Texas Hold’em history?

She’s at what appears to be a legit big tourney so there is no way she is just some idiot who doesn’t know what she’s doing. Absolutely insane read.

I haven’t seen better, that’s filthy. It’s so filthy that I’m wondering what the situation was surrounding the fold that could have caused her to play crazy cautious. If that was done randomly on a read, that’s incredible.

It looks like the dealer was even surprised by the fold.

See, shite like this is why you always sit next to the Asian at the casino.
Crazy Asian Gambler is usually good for a story.

Are you kidding? Asians are so good for the game.
Read a lot about this hand. Amazingly sick.
I had to fold AA and KK tonight post flop. Was not happy about it. On the plus side I got it in pre for 100BBs with KQo and was good with K high vs 98s.

She’s watched Rounders

She was scared of getting knocked out.
Or she knew she was in a hand with a tight arse that had bet the hand like aces the whole way.

The guy checked too fast, and raised too fast. She could have read him for KK or AA early in the hand.
She could have been playing super-tight - on another YT vid they said the tourney was very close to the bubble.
My best guess - I think she had him read for a-little-too-possible* AA or KK and did not want to risk going out so close to the bubble. A lot of pros play "Texas Fold- em" until the final table - or until they hit their goal like 5x or 10x the entry amount.
Looks like she had enough chips to make it way past the bubble if she played tight.
*even a 10% chance (that she's beat) is too risky for some tight tourney players, close to the bubble.

generally "great read" hands are bad folds but look amazing with results-oriented thinking
she looks incredibly smart for this hand but she's now shown to be incredibly exploitable over the long haul

She got in the tourney from a $750 satellite, and cashed out at $25,000.
Certainly could be used against her in the long run. But with that kind of discipline, she could cash out in a lot of tourneys. And she can also use her ultra-tight table image (once she gets past the bubble) to bluff some nice pots - particularly when the blinds get expensive.

it doesn't even have to be in multiple tournaments. she basically has to fold every hand on the bubble b/c she will fold all hands that aren't the super nuts. that's terribly -EV
bullying scared money on the bubble is one of the most basic tournament strategies. you pick up insane amounts of BBs and print money

If you can extrapolate her game from that one hand, then you are correct. But if she is savvy enough to fold a boat to take home $25K (he had her covered - she was out of the money if she called), then she may have numerous other highly unusual strengths in her game.
She reminds me of a pro player I know who folds like crazy until she gets into the money, then she is hell on wheels. She's been making a 6-figure income for 15+ years. she's not obsessed with bracelets and trophies. Has a nice house, a nice car, and pays her bills on time (unlike most high-rolling poker players I know who are boom and bust 12+ times a year).
I also think she read that guy like a book. He played those out-of-position aces like they were glued to his forehead.

Guy missed a bet on the flop that could have cost him if he doesn't spike an Ace on the river
