Basic Cash Game Question

[mmbapmashida]

Should I take coinflips or not? Say if the pot is only laying me about 1.3-1.5 odds. I would probably if I had 2-1 odds, but is that also something that I shouldn't be doing?

As long as you are properly bankrolled you should be getting your money in any time you have even the slightest edge.

Say somehow you know you're a 53% favorite. You'd like to get as much money in as possible. However, don't confuse this with getting money in when you're either a coin flip OR way behind and you're not sure which. That's usually time to fold.

I don't, because I never win them [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. More seriously though, it depends on what level you're playing at and how comfortable you are with variance (it's easy to say that you're comfortable, but tell me that after a 5 buyin downswing.) An edge is an edge of course, but at small buy in NL you really don't need to take small edges because players are bad. As you move up higher and players become better, I think you should be more inclined to take them.
