Folding Kings pre flop

<< < (17/17)

This will amuse a few people.

I"m playing in a 180-seater SNG on Stars.  $20 one.  I like these because one"s never far away, they don"t last too long, and they"re not the hardest tournaments in the world to cash in (to final table and win takes a bit more).

Anyway,  first hand I"m on the button with 8d 8s.  Three limpers, and I decide to limp along and play the flop.  The SB raises it up and two of the limpers call, as do I.

Flop is  :2c: 7h 8h.

Small blind shoves for his remaining 1,300 or so.  The next player calls, the next folds, and then it"s to me.  I have to call as I"m definitely ahead at this stage.

The SB shows  ad  ks
The other player shows 9h  qh

Obviously the turn is the  kh and the board fails to pair and so I"m out.  First hand.

;D

Mikeyboy9361:
Shame they weren"t ks, you"d have laid "em down ;)

kinboshi:
Exactly!

On that board I would have laid them down.
