So when you buy into the WSOP and pay your $10,000 - the cage says to you :
"Would you like to risk your 10k starting stack against having a 60k starting stack? All you have to do is guess heads/tails and be right on 2 out of 3 attempts. If you do not guess correctly, I keep your $10k and you do not play at all"
You say "Yes" without thinking?!?!?
How about 6 all ins infront of you and you have 56 suited - do you snap call?

If there's been no action and all in i'm not sure i can fold here although id spew when i called and he showes aces.Expect for dingdells post about her all in play which i accept for her reasoning imo anyone who makes this type of play i.e pushing all in for 20+bb in early levels is blatantly just a donk it is one of the worst plays in poker imo.I'm going to vote call as i believe that is the correct play however if i was in the situation i believe i wouldnt have it in me to make the call and would probably bottle it
I like this thought about it being a donk play. If you truely believe this, then why would you call and give the donk a chance to get lucky? Wouldnt it be better to outplay him ? As for me, Im folding. Also with the AA scenario (7 all ins) - im defo folding that one. lolz at imaginary 300% edge on the field Where do you get 300% edge on the field? The AA debate has been discussed to death already btw |

My grandad has been very unwell for sometime now - making it almost impossible for him to walk from one room to the other without stopping for breath at least twice.
He used to be so active, both in and out of work right up until a very old working age.
The whole family knew the enevitable would happen (he was given a few years to live - that was over 10 years ago, and has been getting steadily worse.
Well today he was taken to hospital after a fall - he had broke his shoulder and hand, but also had pneumonia . This was causing his blood pressure to fall to an extremely dangerous level. He has been given drugs, but they do not appear to be working in bringing his blood pressure up at all.
The doctors have given him hours to live and say if he arrests, they will not revive him.
I have just come home from the hospital , after spending most of the day there.
His condition is caused primarily due to smoking - he has blocked arteries and emphasema (?sp)
I look alot like him and seeing him there was like looking at myself in 20/30 years time. Not once did I want a cigarette the whole day, nor crave one.
As soon as I got in the car to drive home, what did I do? Yep, light up a ciggie.
I HAVE to quit!
My thoughts are with my Grandad - go in peace Grandad xx
