You have the 3rd nuts pre playing 6 handed and you have to let go..... or do you? I think this example is quite clear cut, what are your thoughts people?

    Easiest pass ever? Glitterbabe is tight the worse he would have here is AK and bitesaund obv has one of 3 hands to shove here 2 of them beat you!

    Good Pass, imo.

    And I don't think it's "sick" at all - I think you should derive great satifaction from being able to Pass big hands in a spot like this. some folks just can't.

    The first Re-Raiser behind you can have anything, you may well be ahead there, but once two more steam in, your Queens are toast.

    You got off Q-Q for £14. It don't get better than that.

    I got Tikay to fold queens Monday Night in his TOT game.

    UTG raised, I reraised with Kings. Tikay was insta fold, no thoughts about it at all, the timer bar barely moved.

    He told me he had queens and then he actually told me the hand I was playing!!!

    Now, thats quality we can all learn from.

    I meant its a pretty sick spot in that they come up so rare!

    I agree its a good fold.  Glitterbabe is tight and Bitesaund never bluffs PF.
