Time to go home?

  • I don't mind the fold. Basically you'd end up pot committing yourself if you just called. It was either all-in or fold. Best case you're in a race and you need to make the choice to make this your hand. Either way isn't too bad but I would be on the folding end of this one.
  • I actually ended up in 10th and busted the player above that raised when I called him with 55 and he had KQ, I won the race but couldn't hold on to make the FT.

  • I prefer a fold.

    Logic
    player utg limps
    utg+1 raises 4 times

    Very likely if you call you end up against two players
    Push and you are at BEST racing, but with a decent overlay in the pot.

    I wait and find hands where i'm the agressor, since you're now at a point where picking up the blinds is also enough to sustain you.
  • Yeah I fold this.
  • Easy fold.
  • Fold. You can't just call here and you have no fold equity. You are either in a race or severly behind - even if you did have a read on the raiser and figure he is making a move on the bettor your 4s are still only 50-50 against most random junk.

    The only situation I call here is if I put them both on AK - but this is entirely fictional due to the fact I could never make that read :)
