$1170 - Played Some 2/4 with AC, and Folded KK Preflop

My ladder challenge stats through the weekend are shown above. I did not play as much as I would have liked over the weekend, and even blew off the big game, because I was real tired, and did not think I could bring my "A-Game".

Saturday afternoon, Allen Cunningham was 8-tabling 2/4 nl on FullTilt, so I sat down. The bankroll per the ladder challenge was not there yet for 2/4, but I thought it would be ok to get my feet wet, and observe one of the best players in the world. I bought in for $200 which is 1/2 a full buy-in. I did not want to drop $400 at 2/4 before I was technically allowed to play it. I played 41 hands and won two pots. I never really got involved with A.C. in any hands. I did see him push-in from the BB after a cut-off steal preflop. The guy called with 77, and A.C. had AKo. He would spike a K and double through. It was an interesting play. I ended up dropping $38 at 2/4 so I will have red on my stats for 2/4 until I can correct that. I am feeling pretty confident at 1/2 nl right now though.






The hand below is a first for me. I folded KK preflop in a cash game. I have never done this before, and was not sure if I ever would be able to. I was pretty much convinced the preflop reraiser had AA, and did not want to push-in to find out. It would have been an easier decision against a bigger stack to fold there, but I did it anyway. Go ahead and rip me for it. I will understand. He could have had QQ, or AK possibly, but my read was AA. Sometimes you just feel it. The big stack after me folded, so I will never know. It felt good though, to be able to do something I have never done before.
