Get the crying towel

[Talking Poker]

Of course I would put my chips in if i KNEW I was an 80% favorite. Well, usually. There are times (say, on the bubble of major prizemoney) when I wouldn't.

But that wasn't my point. And of course the cards don't remember. My point was simply that a tournament is made up of a large number of hands, and even if you ALWAYS get your mioney in with the best hand, you can't expect to win every showdown. Eventually, you are going to get sucked out on. So, if you always put your money in with the best hand, you re always going to end up losing with the best hand.

Please note that this is NOT me saying you should start putting your money in with the worst hand... I'm simply trying to explain what you have been seeing lately, and if anything, suggest you become a little more selective when CALLING all in. People always seem to think calling all in as a favorite (no matter how slight the edge) is the correct play... and a lot of times, it's not. Not in a tournament.
