PokerBarney Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 A hand which caused a lot of action in the chatbox at the time. I figured i had 15 outs (spades, kings and fours), and that villain may be betting on draws or TPNK and would fold.

Valiant23 Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Re: Good move? Bad move? Am I mental? Too over aggressive for me, as despite your outs in essence you are all in on a (semi-?)bluff, but as short stack and with an M of less than 10 (after paying your ante) then I can understand your play if your intention was to take the pot there. I'm guessing small blind had trips or a straight, and you caught a spade on the river? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Re: Good move? Bad move? Am I mental? I'd have gone all-in like you did without thinking. (Though I must stop going all-in without thinking!) You're favourite against lots of hands he could be betting for value so long as you see it through to the river. And unless he has ace and another spade you're never a huge underdog. A flush and straight draw is an excellent hand to go all-in with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaded Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Re: Good move? Bad move? Am I mental? You played it pretty much the way I would have (I'll stop there to allow Valiant or TQM to get a cheap joke in!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robilaruk Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Re: Good move? Bad move? Am I mental? I can't see the problem with this play calling is rubbish coz if you don't hit the turn, then what? folding is acceptable shoving is acceptable Damo A hand which caused a lot of action in the chatbox at the time.
