  2. You don't. If you look up "cooler" in a poker dictionary, you will see this hand.

    You're making the game too complicated if you'd ever think about folding here, IMO. There are a lot of nasty decisions to be made in an average tournament if you make it anywhere close to deep. If you can't learn to identify the difference between a tough spot and a cooler, you're making it unnecessarily difficult to play the game. All you'll do is make yourself nuts.
     
  3. ^ You don't fold here. It's an unfortunate cooler. There is exactly 1 hand that beats you.

    The times you are up against QQ will be so small compared to the times you triple up in this spot. And if he has QQ you still have an out.
  4. lol overcalls QQ then set over sets you... hes gonna have like KQ/QJ 80% of the time some time of A5/A3s type hand mayb 10% of the time, bottom set like 9.6% of the time, and the unfortunate QQQ like 1 outta 200 times in this spot... just unlucky, clicking call all day and printing the money.

    edit: misread HH, thought sova had the QQ not AQ... hand makes sense tho... I mean, when JR checks the flop after opening from EP, and then reships after the huge overbet jam in front of him... his line is extremely strong... BUT, I still think he has AA or KK or even AQ often enough to not be too worried... granted, he prob cbets KK and AA on that flop, but the board is dry enough to check and under-rep his hand. Unfortunate spot for you, but still never folding.

  5. Easy call... Never folding!

    Most of the time he has AQ KQ...

    Don't upset yourself... It's just brutal!

    Have you watched the hand between Robl and Lewis? QQ VS 99... I suggest you watch it and you will feel ALOT better !!!

    haha
