Bounahra Folding Queens

Just been watching some of the WSOP ME 2011 coverage during Late Day 8.

The hand where Bounahra folded QQ seems terrible to me. He was one of the shortest stacks this was an awesome opportunity to double up.

Lamb 3bet for the 2nd hand in a row vs a LAG opener. He was one of the big stacks and rarely has a hand in this spot. Giannetti took forever to move all-in unless he's a hollywood actor he never has better then QQ here.

I was watching the 2011 WSOP too, and I remember that hand. Unbelievable how anyone could fold pocket queens. Even if he suspected someone else had kings or aces, he should have taken the gamble and raised, or went all in. Players like Lamb usually do well because they are aggressive. You can't win at poker if you play too tight, and folding queens is very tight play.

He did seem like the tightest player at the table, but I think the logic would have been, there is no way my QQ is doing well against a 4-bet, but you can't analyze the hand like that.
