The TEMPORARY Nuts - First Hand.......

[lazaroonie]

Quite compelling reasons for both the fold and the call. In my opinion its a question of utility. What is your aim of playing in the tourney?

If you are in the wsop for the first time, and the primary objctive is just to soak in the experience, play with the professionals, and generally experience the wsop fully, then the correct decision is most likely a fold.

If your goal is to maximize your EV, then its a really clear call.

Its similiar to the canonical "would you fold AA first hand" question, and the same principle applies.


So the answer isn't a yes or a no, the answer is to ask yourself  "what is my goal in the wsop", and through deriving that goal, you derive the correct answer to this question... because contrary to popular belief, not everyone plays poker with the sole objective of making money or maximizing their EV

 

This sums up my feelings on it exactly.

I agree, it's great to hear players like El Blondie, Thewy, JP ,( IFM) and others post their viewpoints. Mucho respect, it adds a depth of perspective that enriches the analysis.

IFM in brackets? I sense a Mr Angry Post winging it's way in this direction.....

[JungleCat03]

As soon as you start mentioning names you leave people out. I opted either for a parenthesised (Is this a word??) IFM or a full fledged Tikay and plumped for what i felt was the lesser of two evils...collateral damage was inevitable...

.

[tikay]

Stop digigng Cat. IFM's gonna eat you. And another thing - how comes he's a "lesser evil" than me? I object

[JungleCat03]

Ok, i'm putting the spade down, and my hands in the air, waving a large white handkerchief....

I surrender....

(If it will stop IFM eating me, i'd like to point out i eat old fish and knaw on chicken bones, and clean my entire body with my tongue...and i mean ENTIRE BODY!....still hungry??)

[ifm]

mmmmm i like a bit of tongue.............
