Especially late in a game you always want to eliminate a player if you can. So you all can advance up in pay. _________________ GOOD LUCK ALL

Especially late in a game you always want to eliminate a player if you can. So you all can advance up in pay. agreed, although i can see some justification for the bet (to my own surprise ) as he has left himself quite short stacked with his pre-flop call and prefers to see the turn and river heads up to give himself the maximum chance to win the pot - could be he even feels that he may be ahead of our all-in player. i probably wouldn't make that play but i don't think it's the worlds worse in his position. as a rule, i think HC is spot on though. if i may, i would also call into question your play here a bit Mik. it's an awful lot of chips to make that call pre-flop when you're facing a raise and a re-raise. you're calling 1,415 with just an ok starting hand and still 2 to come behind you. you know you're almost certainly behind at this stage and even if you hit your ace (or your 10), you're still going to be in no mans land. surely it would be better to wait until you can be the aggressor with the good stack you've built up rather than calling into this kind of 3 or 4 way action. _________________  "I guess nobody really knew Harry like he did ...like I did !"       ....harry "the negotiator" lime Last edited by harry_lime on Tue Oct 06, 2009 2:41 pm; edited 1 time in total

Boy, don't I know it!.  I wish I could claim it was a misclick but, unfortunately, that was not case.  If I were a bit more limber I would have been kicking my own arse the minute i hit the call button. _________________   Newest and oldest member of the Mura-harem.
