Your worst fold, always hurts less than your worst call

[blackfese]

wrong title it is a good lay down.

[Omego2K]

I don't care what anybody says. It's a terrible fold. Yes there is a chance it can be beat, but that's simply the SMALL risk you have to take. In a large tourny you will be in for all your chips many times and these are the hands you look for to get your money in. If the guy has you beat then it's a cold deal and you move on. I had an 800$+ pot where I had Q high flush on the flop and the guy had the nut flush. It happens, but by folding you lose more in the end. How can anybody defend this?

@2112mbell Mike is an excellent tournament player, and has made it far in several ME's. The reason you are not richer, is because of those times you call and they are in fact not bluffing. "there's always a chance he is bluffing", pfff, so logical...

[victoryv111]

it was a sensible pro-fold considering tournee life at stake..Mikes 3rd nut flush hand at risk ..a sacrifice at times best thing to do..gg

[2112mbell]

this is a terrible fucking fold. theres always a chance he is bluffing... there is only 2 hands that beat you WOW why am I not rich.. i see lots of garbage play in big tournys..

[judojoe07]

Id say it was a pretty good lay down, the guy could of turned his hand up and Mike still would have had trouble making a decision

[weatherallc05]

ive seen worse people, it wasnt the nuts ffs

[silentsniper125]

also to people saying "if another spade came he would have been crippled"

matusow has 2 spades and theres 3 on the board and if he thinks hes drawing with a K or A of spades then that means theres only 7 spades left in the deck.

the chances of Johnson hitting that spade is around 28% so if matusow thinks hes drawing he should still call

[silentsniper125]

if he had an A or Khigh flush would he shove? hed do it with a set to give matusow a bad price to call if he put him on a high spade

but if he made nut flush/2nd flush - why would he move all in? he cant put matusow on a made flush obviously and matusow could easily be raising to 2200 with A9. K9, T9, 6s7s.. pairs or a set at best. so if johnson cant put matusow on a monster (which matusow should know, right?) why would he shove IF he has him crushed with A/K high flush- am i missing something?

[Cdub2k]

I guess the Rabbit Cam was MIA on this.

Mike was right that he couldnt have a Ace high flush.

Personally I wouldve put him on a set of 9s or pocket Aces with the Ace of Spades.

Both scenarios would have required dodging a lot of outs for your tournament life. And those were the worst hands he could have there.

Good lay down by Mike IMO even though he had the best hand. Seeing how the Main Event is a once a year thing you have to be completely sure.

that guy wuld of donkey'd him n hit the fourth spade if he had called
