You're basically making the argument that you should put your entire tournament life on the line anytime you flop a flush draw. Not a very good plan.

You're right.

I prefer to make a fort out of my chips and hide inside only to come out when I have a big pocket pair, then savour the victory of making 1.35 x buyin after I fold into the money, secure in the knowledge that I never put my tournament LIFE on the line until my last hand. FUN!!

Folding a 2-1 shot getting 3-1 on your money isn't preservering your **TOURNAMENT LIFE**, its actually the opposite.

To bad Kido Pham didnt tkae the worst of it. He is least entertaining player ever I have seen on TV.

I understand the pot odds, but you think it's wise to do that for a 6-high flush draw?

Since I haven't figured out how to delete my post, I guess I'll have to let my dumb question stand.

I need more coffee.

What's so insane about making a call where you're getting 3 to 1 on a 2 to 1 dog?

Ironically, you can make a case for everything but the call to be insane.

You're basically making the argument that you should make a call when you have the correct odds to do so. This is common sense.

"He called me with SIX high!"

"You're disrespecting the game."

Ricky, this play was fine. You are indeed a talking donkey. Nice first post, tho. You sparked a fine thread.
