Default Re: Getting all-in here ok?

The situation I am talking about is one where you both have most of your stacks in, but have say $30 each and the pot is $150 or so. There is no reason to go all in for your last $30 on the flop because 1) If you make your straight or flush a set will still have to call you because of pot odds and 2) You can save that $30 if the board pairs the turn and you are drawing dead. By waiting to shove on a non paired turn you still win the same amount you normally would, but lose slightly less on a paired board
