Default Re: Why being a luckbox far outweighs being weak-tight early on

This is a brainless call. To fold this would be silly and not because of the results but because of the pot odds you were getting as well as the fact you were already invested even though it was only 30 chips but if you hit you take down a monster. Very Weak tight fold here.

"Invested"? WTF does that mean? Once you have personally put some chips in a pot it alters the decisions that you make from that point on? Look I know the WPT & ESPN guys misuse the term constantly, but "pot-committed", which is the concept I think you are going for here, has to do with the odds that the pot are giving you relative to the size bet you have to put in to stay in the hand. You can be pot-committed without having put any money in yet - because the odds the pot is giving you make a call +EV.
