Default Re: The worst mistakes in NL are made with drawing hands

The big difference is CALLING a big bet verses MAKING a big bet with a draw. A semi-bluff has the added value of possibly getting everyone to fold. This makes it a powerful play, as long as there IS a chance everyone will fold. However, CALLING a huge bet is a terrible mistake, this much is clear.

It is true that usually only very bad players make these mistakes, but there are a LOT of very bad players playing this game. I wasn't talking about a situation where someone of my skill level is facing a world champion tournament pro.
