Re: A situation I hate
This truly sucks. You almost have to fold as it isn't worth risking basically all of your chips. If you lose this hand you certainly will be dead, if you win it, your odds of cashing don't increase...

Re: $11 - 1st hand 22

Great job, this is usually a spot where I am content to check it down, but obviously his check presented an opportunity for a value bet, which I usually miss.
