should have just gone allin vs the check-raise to save himself a tough decision imo

Wait, don't they hand out penalties for checking the nuts on the river? Shouldn't folding the nuts get this guy DQ'd?

If you give it a good thinking that may be the greatest fold of all time.

Good fold. He's chopping against JT, flipping against QTcc QJcc ATcc AJcc AQcc Jxcc Txcc, behind against JTss, and destroyed by JTcc. Occasionally villain spews with top set here, but we shouldn't base our reads off what we'd like him to have. When you have an edge on the rest of the field in understanding true equity, there's just no need to call hoping for a coin toss here.

They cant DQ this guy...but it doesnt matter anyway - does it?...he'll be out in 667th place.

Its really hard to win a tournement with scared money..this guy aint going nowhere. Hes be gonna one of those guys who tries to squeak into the money.

But whats worse than the fold - is showing it. Whats he thinking?

other guy mucked, said he had JTcc (maybe).

3 orbits later i give the "JTcc" guy a walk and someone makes an inane table comment about how he has powers to command me to fold. "JTcc" guy says half -under his breath, "yeah lol, just like early when i was like... you have the nuts, FOLD!!"

when the table breaks an hour later villains 1 and 2 share a moment where JTred villain explains himself. I should have listened, but I thought for my tournament tilt level and decided to run to my next table and never look back, for fear of being enveloped in an inescapable cloud of supermonkeyball tilt.

5/10 at the rio, MP raises MP2 calls BTN calls, flop: KQJ 2 spades

MP bets, MP2 raises, BTN jams for 2kish (everyone about 2k deep) MP re-shoves MP2 tanks forever and folds AT face up and goes "i know the board is gonna pair or a spade is coming)

hands kept face-down

turn: pairs board

river:x

BTN shows boat, MP2 fist pumps and goes "I KNEW IT WAS COMING I KNEW IT, YES!!!"

i stare amazed at what happend while i see a older lady shaking her head saying "wow nice laydown, i couldnt have made that fold"

after the hand i felt like i was vince vaughn in wedding crasher when he got jerked off underneath the table.....cause at that moment i came in my pants

Wow.

I just can't see folding the nuts based on what might happen. You might be a dog but how can you fold the nuts?

And to fold face up? He should be taken out back and beaten with a big stick.

This is a pretty easy fold for anyone who knows that if you're never all in, you can't lose the tournament.

I guess at least the second fold wasn't costing a potential 6+ million bucks.....
