Default Re: I folded Aces before the flop, am I an idiot??

From what I've learned...when you can actually fold aces (in the appropriate circumstance), you've finally arrived. I can understand the fold and have learned a good lesson from this thread. Still, if I was the big chip leader, I would have thought to felt the short stacks...but then, I haven't yet arrived:)

Okay so we don't all agree here but now that we have discussed your actual play, how did you do? I mean in the toureny. Get the seat?

Yeah, I won a seat. It's for a tournament in Cyprus. I had too many chips to not get a seat, two people basically only had enough chips to cover blinds. Ironically, I'm the one that busted them, but the situation was much different. I was last to act in the Big Blind (so the dufus to my left couldn't pull any shenaningans) pick up 10-10 and two of the extremely short stacks were all in and it was a no brainer call to eliminate two players.
