Default Re: sanity check on all-in play which cost me 2nd

Made an error in the example where you bet all-in. Of course you don't finish outside the money if you go broke but take 3rd place. You will end up winning 200$ 25% of the time (not 0$ 20% of the time and 200$ 5% of the time) so your EV would be 355$ making the all-in bet your best move. And thats not even considering the posibillity that your opponent might fold.

Your opponent made a lousy call and got very lucky. Even if you knew your opponent would call you on a flush draw with the chance of busting you wouldn't you still make the all-in bet?

Without knowing the big stack's hand, we cannot make this judgment yet. Did he have other outs besides the flush draw? Adding a gutshot and bottom pair would add 5 outs which would make the call correct.
