Hi JP.

Is there a possibility to start the 550 game at 6.30 as opposed to 6 (to accommadate us Rugby fans)

Fwiw, I think Albert's a superb player and all that seems to make sense to me is what Marc said above, ie the guy literally told him he had the nuts.

I was perhaps a tad harsh,and my apoligies to ITT-pat.

What I mean is that it's a very Vicki Corenesque type of comment.
While folding middle set would in most situations probably be the wrong choice,in this instance it was clearly the right one and a very good play at that.

This tournie allows for such a laydown,which admittedly most of us wouldn't make,but how many hands push in 40k chips after a check re-raise(?) into him?

If this was a bad fold,and a call was preferrable to anyone who thinks it is, then enjoy your pint because your out of the tournament.
I presume Pat was insinuating that the qualititive nature of the situation would have him call,presuming one can't go on to win the tournament folding in such spots,but this is only a presumption of course.
In every sense,including the obvious,this was clearly a good fold,but the situation obviously warranted it and while I can understand someone thinking it was a bad play,I find it ludicrous to read such a comment given the information made available to us.
But all things considered I am probably talking out of my arse;)

i guess i should clarify a few things, first of all pat how can you put up a range of hands that he could have when you have no idea what kind of player he was, he was playing very tight and my first instinct on the hand was to call, but after working out imo that he was only pushin there with three hands, j10, 55 and jj, and after talking to him for a few minutes about the hand he made a statement saying "i know im ahead at the moment but what comes on the turn and river may change things", i said "so you have top set then" and he replied "i have the nuts at the moment" and i belived him so i folded, to be honest if he kept quiet i was calling.
