Sorry, poker content. I know this is probably irrelevant in the zillions of hands we play, but do you ever fold this hand in a 6-max cash game? With that betting pattern, I put him on that hand more than the majority of the time (seemed pretty rockish). Regardless, I just cannot fold there.

Your a donkey. Haha. I would fold there at times.. it all depends on the player and table makeup and all that kind of thing. I would be more likely to fold if I knew nothing about the player since that does scream AA… if I knew he was laggy or would jam lower holdings then I would call.. It is really hard to lay down those kings though. Most people will probably say just call. I think we should strive to be better though.

I just posted about this too, and at those levels, which is what I play, too, his action usually means A-A. It always, no doubt, 100 percent means it if the player is “rockish,” as you describe. I fold when he pushes all the time in that situation all the time now and feel good about it.
Remember, Phil Gordon says “the 4th raise means Aces,” and he’s almost always right.
Still, tough hand and a cooler, and no one really faults you for getting it in there.

Nope… Can’t fold them. That could have been Queens just as easy. Unless he is just a super nitty person, I’m calling.
Come on Peaker.. at our levels 4 betting can mean anything… even 4 betting all ins.
I have to agree with our buddy Dan Harrington on this one… Never fold Kings…
Especially in a heads up situation.
Having said that, what is the worst thing that can happen if you fold? You lose $7. Not the end of the world. Sure, $70 hurts; but I’m calling here.

Villian does NOT have AA here more than 50% of the time. Never fold KK.

Nope, I couldn’t find a fold there either
