Hand from the Kotz trny

[C M Burns]

I was in a similar position early, with the nut flush draw, getting 2-1 to call allin on the flop. I called and ended up hitting an A to win, so it worked out. I think early if you get the odds go for it. You do not have much to lose b//c you can just buy into another tourn and be just as good a spot as you were. Later on in a tourney i think you'd want a better spot, assuming if you fold you are still in decent shape, b/c you just can't buy into another tourney and be in the same position imediatley, you have more at stake. thats my thinking anyway. (of course since this was a special t, you could argue play it safer or more agg, but i like agg)
