Default Re: Do you take the coin-flip?

Its an easy fold. Why would I want to coin flip for my stack. Im a huge favorite in the game and I can get all my money in as a huge favorte. I agree with Bob Schiffone who says stay away from situations where you are either a small favorite or a huge under dog.

We was talking about AK, not AKs.

The equities should look like this:

Hand 1: 46.0457 % [ 00.46 00.00 ] { AKs, AKo }
Hand 2: 53.9543 % [ 00.54 00.00 ] { 55 }

Thus an easy call with 5% rake.

Yup, very easy call. If they don't share suits, 55 is 55% to win.

it's a cash game, not a tournament. assuming you are properly bankrolled and assuming no rake, this is one of the easiest calls there is. also, this is not a situation where you are a small favorite or a huge under dog. you are a small favorite with 0% chance of being an underdog (small or huge).

Players who answered "yes" to this question, on average, will be better No-Limit players than those who answered "no".

In this situation you are never an underdog. It was stipulated that you knew with 100% certainty that he has overs. win and you can continue to get oppourtunities where you are a huge favorite with a 200bb stack. Loose and you reload and continue to get opportunities where you are a huge favorite.

The only time I don't call is if i'm playing above my roll and I don't do that so I always call.

What's mind-boggling is that a third of this forum hates money.

With no money, or close to no money, in the pot to begin with theres no way you cant take that gamble. Way too much for way too little.
