Default Re: Knowingly Taking the Worst of it

I played a tourny last night where some maniac was moving in almost every hand.. and got his chips up to about 6000 v v early.

I got a free look in the BB with 2/3 suited.. and flopped a flush draw.

the pot was about 100.. and someone (the maniac was not in this hand) went all in for about 1500.. and I called, figuring if I get lucky here and get to 3k.. I have a fantastic chance of taking on the maniac and getting to 6k or more.

If this is a loose example of what you are alluding to, then yes, I wholeheartedly agree.

If you lose, you can always move onto another tourny, but it seems like a golden chance to achieve a good stack in this tourny, and I dont like passing up those chances too often.

(I normally hate posting hands in someone elses post, but i wanted to post this to get a hold of whether its the kind of situation you refer to. My apols if it is bad form)
