There is certainly value in folding marginal hands to let other players knock each other out when you have some kind of stack but the main point im trying to make is when you have a stack of 25k and each round is costing you 17k folding AJ is saying im just gonna ante out and hope i ladder up a little. I mean what are you waiting to happen? Pick up AA when you have 2k left? Like they say, "In order to live, you must be willing to die", if you want to win a tourney you cant be affraid to lose. Personally in the situation described i'd have been all in blind pre flop on the previous hand, with such a small stack and having to post the BB on the next hand. |
