Was this a stupid call?
Wondering if I should have pushed the flop, although it wouldn't have made a difference to the outcome. I just couldn't lay down my flush draw + gutshot straight :-p

Re: Was this a stupid call?
Not really. Its a gambling call...but not really a BAD one...
It turns out you only had 12 outs for 45% ish to win the hand with ... 1.5 to 1 on your money... (I do that right?) Won't the villian show you top pair or an underpair to your jacks a fair amount of the time? That would bump you to 15 outs and the stat favorite. Its a gamble, but not bad overall... |

Re: Was this a stupid call?
The blinds are tiny portion of your stack. I don't see the purpose of this call, please elaborate.

Re: Was this a stupid call?
you've got 20xBB. you can definitely find better spots than this.... 1.53:1 on your money.
it comes down to this: do you want to be flipping coins for your tournament life when you are otherwise in very comfortable shape? |

[/ QUOTE ] You said what I was thinking....I said it poorly. NH. p.s. I hate folding Straight+Flush draws and would probably call if I thought I had 15 outs. Its an admitted leak. |

of course, folding straight+flush draws isn't necessarily a leak... it just is in this particular case.

Re: Was this a stupid call?
I like shoving on a flop with my draws, not calling an all-in. Big difference!
