If my bankroll could only support playing at .01/.02 I honestly have to say no, I look for this fool to pay me off with an over-pair when I flop a set.

If I am wrong then so be it, I'll accept that, but I would think if you are playing within your bankroll limits that you could find a better spot than 50/50 for your money.

Let them gamble or make the mistakes.


I wish I had not posted the outcome of the hand now. Obviously I think the AQ play was flat out horrendous, but I'm not all that fond of calling off my chips with AK either.


Kurn says he was getting 2:1 on his money to call the all-in and will win 50% of the time, I agree with that, but aren't the facts that he still had put in half of the pot, so in reality if he wins half the time he really breaking even.

Now before anyone jumps to the keyboard and tells me that once the chips are in the pot they are no longer yours please understand the I am aware of that, I am also aware that the reality of why we play is to make money and the reality is that there was roughly $9000 in the pot and each player put in $4500 so if you win 50% of the time you break even minus the rake.


If the unknown player pushed right from the go for $4500 are you telling me KrisQueen still should make the auto-call? Now he's getting 1:1 on his money on a 50/50 situation simply because the money went in at different intervals.
