Message: [QUOTE="mercyscercy, post: 5822917, member: 429505"] You call somebody's all-in along with 1 other player. In a tournament it benefits each player when another player is eliminated. Sometimes I wonder if people realize this. you flop top pair on the rainbow flop and since there's already a decent amount of chips in the pot you check. The other player bets something small so you call. A duce comes on the turn and once again you check and now he says all-in. You fold and see he has just picked up a flush draw and has nothing else. The all-in who had pocket 88's wins the hand when the player betting missed the flush on the river. It's so frustrating to me when this happens. you would have won the hand and eliminated a player. Why do players do this??? Do you usually check it down?? unless you see value with a great hand or see a draw you don't want someone to hit for free I usually check it down. [/QUOTE]
