When looking at this from a risk v. reward perspective, the downside heavily outweighs the upside. You don't need numbers to figure that out, just common sense.

I have no agenda, but I'm afraid that this is very bad advice. As you can see, given my calculations it is very very close. Make his push smaller, therefore, and you have a call. Make it bigger, and your fold becomes much easier. What you said is the wrong way of thinking, sorry.

It is not hatred.

Whatever it is, you seem to put a lot of passion into it.

I have no feelings toward you as a person

[/ QUOTE ]
Unless you've done a lot of e-dating, I speculate that it's pretty hard to develop feelings towards a person you've only chatted with over the Internet. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

besides thinking that you are not very smart and are bad at poker.

For the past two years, then, I've been a very, very lucky person.

It is just that your posts are an embarrassment to the forum because they are so consistently horrid.

[/ QUOTE ]
Thanks for your opinion, Diablo. But I have never forced my opinion or insight onto anyone in this forum. If you don't agree with my reasoning, or lack thereof, feel free to move on.


What I'm about to say may sound like it's straight from a Hallmark card, but life is too short to worry about the small stuff. Look at the big picture. Appreciate what you have. And be willing, not hesitant, to hear from others. When you learn how to re-direct your focus from the trivial things in life to what really matters, I promise you will become a happier person.

ps~ Thank you for your insightful posts over the past two+ years. I think they're an invaluable asset to this forum.

have you yet noticed that when more respected posters make contraversial statements it is because of insight rather than the blind, proud ignorance that always comes with yours?

being a condescending assclown is just another reason for the entire population of the forum to hate you

because the reason the freeroll is such a good idea is that no one folds the nuts here, so on that thought if you push with 2pair + flush draw you would only lay down a set but the straight would still make the routine/tough call.

if the person is smart enough to get through that, then he must know what his move looks like to a winning player with which he's played many hands...

So if you think he has Qx [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] .271 of the time or more (and he always has a Queen) then you should fold.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd guess he only needs to be freerolling about 25% of the time

I just want to point out that I rule.

[/ QUOTE ]

if you had said 26%-28% I would agree. 25%? cuttin' it close

[/ QUOTE ]

OK, I actually thought "25 to 30%" when I made a rough guess, is that good enough to rule?

[/ QUOTE ]

yes, and you are trustworthy enough so i guess it can ruled you rule

close only counts with horseshoes and handgrenades.
