Interesting hand last night with a player folding pocked aces post flop with the following flop
pre flop he had made a small raise and had two callers. There are no major differences in chip counts between himself and the other two.
Post flop first to act goes all in and after a bit of a dwell the next guy calls.
The guy with pocket aces folded and showed his hand and a few of them took the mick at what a dumb decision it was. He defended the decision on the basis that he was certain that one of them had two pair and did not want to throw his chips away.
As it happens the two hands shown were
and
He soon had a smile on his face when the river was
Giving one of the players trips for the pot, which in a way vindicated his decision, not that anyone else agreed with him. I gave him a bit of moral support along the lines of that he made the right decision as he would have lost the pot, but could you see yourself folding aces in this situation?
I didn't agree with his two pair thoughts as based on the play up to this point unlikely that a player would have called the raise with 9-10. But would you want to take your chances against a possible straight or flush draw?
(I appreciate that I have only given sketchy details of the hand but was too tired to post it when I got home and have forgotten some of the detail)
