You will have way better chances to make money than what you tried to do here.

In a cash game, you should take every chance you have to make money. What does it matter if there will be better ones than this one? Unless they are mutually exclusive, which they shouldn't be if you are properly rolled for the game.

"In a cash game, you should take every chance you have to make money. What does it matter if there will be better ones than this one? Unless they are mutually exclusive, which they shouldn't be if you are properly rolled for the game."

Totally, theworstplayer. I get that EV is EV. I guess my response was confusing. I should have just said that I don't like the hand, even though I have no problem with the way certain parts of the hand were played.

This is an example of a situation that requires lots of different things to go right in a multiway pot in order to win the hand. You have to make multiple independent reads which have to be right, your opponents have to do what you hope they will do, and the cards have to fall the right way. The more different things that have to go right, the more likely something will go wrong to wreck the hand. This hand could easily have caused hero to lose a lot of money. And I say that being willing to put it all on the line in a cash game with any +EV.

you meant "Playing this hand this way will not make you money." In that case, my comment about this not being a tournament does not apply. My apologies.

I was absolutely floored when I read the initial post and then the follow-up explanation. Absolutely astounding. Nice hand indeed.

Incredible thinking. I'm such a tight ass I probably would have never played the hand in the first place.

Who are you and how long have you been playing?

Need an understudy?
