Re: A Rebuy ? for Math Majors

Re: A Rebuy ? for Math Majors

You shouldn't even consider ROI when thinking about poker tournaments: that just leads to bad decisions.

Re: and in this corner.....weighing 265 pounds..Folding Equity!!!!!

A_Plus, I think you're right that raising the flop is in order. It's a little counterintuitive because our goal on a flop like this is to get all-in multiway -- that's much better than getting all-in...

Re: **Official Stars 100K added**

Adanthar, that seems like a strange reason for passing up a tournament with negative rake.

The tournament is effectively $553-23 rather than $500+30.
