What Poker hands can you just NOT get away from...

What Wild Bill is trying to say is: Do you want to cross the road and make it to the other side 60% of the time or 35-40% of the time?

"limpdick" your way? Come on you are being ridiculous. Go read some more books and get back to us with a report. Every decent author will tell you its about getting the most equity you can out of a tournament pot. A few players out there say they play to win every time and sure its nice to say that, but there are going to be times where you would be nuts to play aggressively on the very rare chance you win a tournament, but a simple fold generates a very good chance of you moving up a spot or two in the money.

I agree its silly to argue this here. We should go over to the 2+2 forum and see how many of them laugh at people who say its never correct to fold AA. Further lets see how many of them say damn moving up a place or two, you should be about nothing but winning the whole thing. If indeed all you think tournaments are about is winning, then by all means keep playing those tier one hands even when you shouldn't be. Your fellow tournament players will thank you for the extra equity you give them.

You misinterpret my game. I am about as tight as it gets. I end up being somewhat shortstacked and in this get into the money situation damn near every time. Obviously I would make all efforts and fold a lot to try and creep into the money but I will never compromise my chance to win MORE money by playing stupid and laying down aces is incredibly stupid in damn near every instance IMO. I feel my record speaks for itself. I have a nice history of success in multi table party poker tourneys. You can find me often playing multi table tourneys at party poker under this same handle. By the way, I don't read books. I self tought myself the game playing $200 ten man tourneys on party poker so obviously I learned a lot about getting into the top 3 and cashing. Many times 4 people playing for those three spots and laying down aces will get you nowhere quickly.

just one last thought on folding aces

I have read this thread a few times and there is still no way I would fold Pocket Ace's Preflop. I do not care what the raise was.. you are ahead no matter what the others have
