You don't always have to move all-in...

Life is always a gamble. Sometimes it doesn't matter if you win or lose, but it's about the thrill, the action and making sound choices in life. So far, great choices, average results (imagine 60/40 decisions with 40% results).

Hand history from post below

This is more painful revisited this morning. It seems I was only on my second orbit, I was in MP with the KK on hand fourteen or so. I had folded the blinds once so the comments on tight play still apply.

I looked at the final results, and soon after that player laid that beat on me, this person was chip leader (6k of 20k in play) with 6 remaining and had the same 6k with 4 remaining and HE NEVER MADE THE MONEY. He played timid at 4-handed and blinded himself down to a hand where he survived once when behind K-high to A-high and hit his king, then got behind an overpair that sealed his demise.

I'm so glad "he" didn't cash.

I say he as in anyone....he or she.

Blacktens balance 85, lost 1855 [ Kd Kc ] [ a pair of kings -- Kd,Kc,Js,Tc,7d ]
jnc2552 balance 3895, bet 1855, collected 3895, net +2040 [ Ad Jd ] [ a flush, ace high -- Ad,Jd,7d,5d,4d ]

Confirmed that he raised all in with only top pair top kicker and a back door flush draw and only three to a straight (AJT).

When I'm a NL agressor on a pair and a good draw (say middle pair and 4 flushed), I can't hit a flush with 2 cards to come when all in and I get runner runnered here. GFM!

I should have had a drink.
