Dreams & poker

I'd want to call, I really would. But I swear I can be a big pussy when it comes to pulling the trigger with 52o.

In reality, I fold. Then pray that it gets folded around so that I don't even have the chance to see the flop when it comes: 522.

What if that relative told you to fold AA
"when it mattered most"

IF you believed in the afterlife, IF you believed in
the possibility of communication with such and
IF you believed this was a communication and not a
dream...wouldn't you be pissed it wasn't the winning
powerball number?

I don't believe in ghosts, and even if I did I don't believe they can predetermine the results of a poker hand and even if I did believe in ghosts knowing the future, this wouldn't be when it mattered most. Now holding 52o on a board of As 3 4 Js 8s after doing the betting from the flop and your opponent suddenly wakes up and pushes the river when you two are massive chipleaders. Then I would call (although dead relative or not I'd probably call).

None of this can be quantified, even so, you cannot completely discount a recurring dream.

However, "when it matters most" is the qualifier in the message and clearly it does not matter to you very much here.

FOLD.
