I know you're a respected poster and earn a boatload of $$ playing this game, but this post really seems like bragging to me. Complaining that you didn't fold a hand with potential outs in a big pot.. Is that really that big of a mistake? [ QUOTE ]
Actually, I disagree with everyone that thinks this is close. I think it is a pretty clear fold.

This is where that mantra thing that he refers to starts clouding the issue. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I didn't see this as a bragging post. I see it as someone trying to up the level of their game a bit higher and not being satisfied with just ABC, by rote way of playing. Even if it is that close a decision. Nothing wrong with trying to reach a higher standard of play.

This is one reason I admire, and sometimes get inspired by, GoT's thinking. Because he seems to always be striving for that next level. Even if it looks trivial. Many would just be satisfied with the level he's at. He's not. I think that's kinda cool.
