I've never open folded 22, let alone 99.
Good thread however.
have you ever open folded anything?
having you on my right in my first big comp gave me a whole new vision on poker
you should of seen the hands i was folding till i got up the guts to reraise you with AQo
When I started playing poker there used to be a phrase called "Irish position".
This meant the first player into a pot had the best position because he had the right of the first bluff in a hand. i.e. if everyone has nothing the first bet wins it.
I always liked this idea.
*EDIT* This phrase wasn't racist or anti irish in any way. It just refered to the aggressive style of the top Irish players of the time: Padraig Parkinson, Aiden Bennett, Noel Furlong, Alan Betson and Scott Gray + loads more
