Just a little teaser.

I can think of a situation where it is probably correct to fold rockets preflop.......can anybody else?
pocket Jacks eh?

Ahhh, one before the money at the WSOP when 7 other people went all in before you. No wait, eight people. And a dog winked at you from the rail. Not to mention Greg Raymer just blew you a kiss from the feature table as well. Did I mention the dealer is laughing?
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

I play 5 max $25 at Paradise and will never ever ever fold 'em, even if there are 4 ppl all in before me! Either I'll win or at least it will be a good story for my next home game! Now if I was buying in for 50% of my BR I may answer a little differently.

Here's another one. Hoyt Corkins has 72 offsuit and goes all in from the small blind on a steal. Fold your aces. John D'agastino knows what I'm talking about.

Final table, you are short stack and there a 4-way all-in ahead of you. You think you can get two or more pay positions just by folding.

Well, yeah...that is basically it.

I suppose it is kind of obvious and i suppose you guys have discussed this kinda thing many times before.

But, in reality, has anyone out there ever actually layed these down preflop?

Even though it may be the right thing to do, I'm not sure I'd be able to do it

You're having a heart attack and need immediate medical assistance.
