is knowing im 2-1 fav enough?

[s.tahcker]

Ive just been knocked out of a 75 freezeout after 3 hands.To cut a long story short.I called allin with qq on the flop.I knew he had a low flush draw.The point for me is-should i call knowing im going to get hit 1-3 times.I thought for 2 minutes before the call and i was right  but is being right enough?Is it better to wait.It was at DTD so was a good structure.

2:1 favourite is often as good as it gets in poker. When you consider pot odds that might have been in contention I imagine you were risking something like 3000 more chips for a 8,000 pot. Those odds dictate you perhaps should call if a 3:2 dog, so if you're a 2:1 favourite you should be happy with your decision.

In poker you can't be results orientated, even though it sucks to exit a tourney so early.

s.thacker, you, me nor anyone here is good enough to fold knowing they're a 2:1 fave, you cannot pass up this edge in tournament unless you have a mssive massive edge over the field...

I get what you are saying.I nearly folded thou knowing what could happen.It takes an hour for me to get to DTD.My poker is based on the fact "the less hands that hit the river the better chance you have" so for that reason i thought wait.But after replaying hands i played before against him some months ago i knew he was flushing.cant ever be 100%sure but he didn't look like a man with trips or two pair.I'm now sitting at home after spending more time in the car than the poker room.And i still think why gamble when the odds are so short.I take what you are saying as somebody who knows but i still cant get the fact that i gambled when perhaps i didn't need too.

if you're going to pass QQ on the flop knowing you're a 2/1 fave you might as well pass it pre-flop and save yourself some more chips. why gamble with premium hands?

I haven't read the thread but the answer to the title question is yes.

If you have gone to play for fun then fold, or learn cash games.

If you have gone to try and win then call.

Why go straight home - even I can manage to win at the DTD 50p/£1 tables and cover my Tourney Buyin.
I picked up some more at the £20 Turbo STTs

Reading the comments here I feel better about my first hand KK vs inside straight draw exit a while ago
