All depends on how much you were the chip leader by and how you thought the others were playing.<BR/>Even though I have a minor in statistics, I'm not a big fan of numbers at the table. Like Mike A. said (but I'm referring to post flop) no reason to go to war if you are dominating the table and are risking losing a large portion of chips, when you can save a few for a better spot and see someone else go out in the process. But I play wuss poker...so just my opinion.slb159https://www.blogger.com/profile/05535032548012972195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13519202.post-1160675329478293772006-10-12T10:48:00.000-07:002006-10-12T10:48:00.000-07:00Good game last night.

I was sorry to knock you out, as I was hoping to play with you more.<BR/><BR/>The cash games are just variance - I've lost three medium-sized to fairly large pots in a row when I've held A,J and two Jacks on the board...very strange.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08837529956827141862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13519202.post-1160609043458728942006-10-11T16:24:00.000-07:002006-10-11T16:24:00.000-07:00The others all make good point and are right on th...The others all make good point and are right on the odd and opportunity.<BR/><BR/>One can make a case for the other option. Blinds are not mention. How many left, etc. A little later with that 'good' stack, I'd find it easier.<BR/><BR/>With an hour or so left to the money, survival remains at a strong point. <BR/><BR/>Stack is your gun. Cripple it and you can go from Howitzer to slingshot. If you say, "Given the circumstances, I am not going to play big bet poker with a drawing hand." then nobody should kick sand in your face. <BR/><BR/>But, I'm pretty sure I'd have also called the 6:1 here. Hell, I have done dumber things with less stack. :)KenPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06743029070414530606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13519202.post-1160514327186082492006-10-10T14:05:00.000-07:002006-10-10T14:05:00.000-07:00On the AKs hand as well.

The preflop call seems fine -- perhaps a bit conservative but no particular reason to go to war at this point.<BR/><BR/>The call postflop seems absolutely clear cut. <A HREF="http://www.pokerstove.com" REL="nofollow">Poker Stove</A> says that against QQ (no heart) and AJ(no heart) you actually have 46% equity in the pot at this point (you're <I>favoured</I> over the QQ hand). Even if we put one heart queen in, and change the jack hand to include a flush draw (obviously not AJ) it only drops you off to 44% or so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13519202.post-1160510322892149792006-10-10T12:58:00.000-07:002006-10-10T12:58:00.000-07:00Good call with the AKs in the tourney, IMO.

That doesn't even include the possibility that an Ace or King is an out.<BR/><BR/>I'm guessing your SH ring game troubles are just a bad run. As long as you aren't paying off at showdown when it's obvious you are beaten (and the pot is relatively small), you are fine.Semi-Pro Poker Playerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12168486120551151819noreply@blogger.com
