    I'd fold, and start thinking less about what I have, and more about finding opportunities to win chips without using my cards!

    I think that might be prehaps the most concise and best post I've read on these forums. Makes so much sense. I've been in this situation before and it is frustrating. Chances are the other guy has better cards than KQs so next hand please...

    I've found in my reliativly modest poker experience that you make money and win chips by playing marginal starting hands at the right time and in the right possition, than waiting for monster pre-flop hands and playing them out of possition.

    Your a good judge geek! ;)

    Especially on sky, where the tournaments are structured alot faster than elsewhere, your success will be determined by how well you play without having to show your cards.

    This is why so many newbies/or even oldies who "just don't get it" struggle so much.

    If the best hand won everytime, no1 wud ever win.

    Decent cards are relative to previous action.  KQs isnt decent facing a raise and a reraise all in.
