Re: I have to be ahead.....don\'t I?
You are probably losing. But you should just pay it off. Your hand is beaten by only 4 of the roughly 1000 possible specific two-card combinations out there. Based on the action, someone probably has one of those 4 hands. You are in the 0.8% of cases where you are a loser. But if someone has one of those 4 hands, they are entitled to your money. Part of having a winning career at limit poker is -- if the cards come up such that someone is entitled to your money, you give it to them. This will not make you into a loser.
On the other hand, making "big laydowns" in big pot situations where you might be ahead can turn you into a loser. This is why you need to pay.
