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

She obviously put him on pocket aces and was very confident on that read otherwise she wouldn’t have shown the table. If she was just playing tight wouldn’t she have just mucked the hand?

luckboxing a heater to this point is irrelevant. folds like this are probably why she has to rely on qualifiers in the first place

You sound like a dyed-in-the-wool cash player.

But what are the bets? She's tossing away fantastic odds on that hand.

exactly

she's getting effectively 3:1 (paying 150 to win 450) or if you want to look at pot odds, it's 2:1 (150 into a 300 pot)

the range required to call is pretty big given that spread, especially since the flush comes in

preflop she has a button open and then a BB 3B, so their ranges are insanely wide. a FD is unlikely but not impossible given the passive line AA took on a wet board.

flop is check-check so both have wide ranges but BB is wider since BU should be betting the a majority of her range when checked to on the flop. she can be playing for pot control but her value (KK, QQ, KQ, JT) needs to protect and her good draws (Jx-s, Tx-s, etc) need to try to realized their fold equity.

turn is check 1/3 pot call. no fireworks and 1/3 is clear value. so she isn't on a draw and doesn't have top value (b/c if she did, she just priced in the draw). BB still has infinite range, effectively

Makes you wonder how many times she folds the winning hand.

Answer my question first. Are you a cash player first and foremost?

I think it shows shes a winning player.

actually it doesn't

hendon mob doesn't show the tournies she played (and payed a buyin) where she busted

it also doesn't show if she has a backer and what its cut is

She thought he was slow playing

well that's not even a good read post-flop

that means her read was KK

And one thing no one has mentioned is does that guy ever check raise the river as a bluff? Never. So if hes check shipping the river and you think he's been doing something fricky with the hand, what does he have you beat? Nothing.


All that said, I call, but I'm a payoff wizard sometimes.
