Folding Unraised Big Blinds

Here's something I've never seen before. I was playing in a single-table WSOP $10+1 sub-qualifier on PP. One player folded almost every hand. Now, that's not unusual, but this player even folded some unraised big blinds.

Here are all the hands he played:

  • folded 6 hands
  • checked big blind then folded on flop
  • folded 16 hands, including 2 unraised big blinds
  • raised preflop, bet on the flop, and won the pot
  • had AK and paired up, but another player flopped a set of 7s and busted him out.

It was strange to see a player fold his unraised blinds. You would never want to do that, even with two really bad cards, because you get to see the flop for free and could hit a very lucky flop.

The only reason I could think of was that he was playing multiple tables and didn't have time to pay attention to marginal hands on this one. But at least see the flop...
