Liken it do a day of gambling, you set off on a Sunday morinng with 300 quid, and you bet a few winners and a few losers till at 1 am the following morning you have got 1200 quid, do you now want to risk all the 1200 quid on a 13/8 shot coz you make it 11/8 or do you have the same bet you have been having all day and gaurantee a profit?

Take the +EV gamble every time. Poker should be seen as one long game where you concentrate on making the move with the most expectation every time and try not to worry about booking a winnning day.

but you are having the bet, you are simply staking the correct amount instead of gambklng it all. A what stage using the bet all coz its value do you stop? Its when you back a loser and have nowt left.

Yeh obviously. But you never specified how much money this gambler has in his bankroll. If he has £50k+ or something then it's probably correct to take the gamble. Saying he has nowt left is a bit misleading.

Anyway, the AK fold was still awful.

Regardless what flushy or anyone else says they would have done, the decision made was the right one for the person who made it, at that time and in those circumstances.

Over/under on how many words it will take Flushy to call Tikay a donk and comment on the hand. I will set the market at about 10 words.

I didn't have a clue what EV was until someone said look, if the house advantage in roulette is 3% then for every £10 you put on you are throwing away 30p. So why not just stand over a drain and chuck 30p a time down into it.

Tikay please open your wallet, take out £400, burn it and then write a bunch of posts explaining how it was a good thing for you to do.

I may well have made the same mistake in the heat of battle. But when I got home and thought about it or asked the question on the forums and got a load of people telling me I got it wrong, I would hope that I could learn from my mistake.

We are gamblers right? EV is the be all and end all. If you want to be sure of earning £X then stick your money in a bank or something.

I'd like to know what hands you would have pushed with?
By your own logic you have to fold aces here too don't you?

Not liking the old "i was lucky to get that far" "my luck has to change eventually" guff, you know as we all do the luck clock is reset everytime so any new instance starts from scratch and doesn't take into account previous instances.
Besides everyone is lucky to make final tables, regardless of ability.

You put your £300 in the pot many hours previously, it was gone, no longer part of the bankroll so the whole idea is to now add as much to the bankroll as is possible because you have absolutely NOTHING to lose.

Nice cash BTW Cheesy
