Message: [QUOTE="kowrip, post: 5098355, member: 340099"] The skill is in knowing when to take coin flips. For example, in the early stages of the tournament, it's probably not worth risking your entire stack on a coin flip. This is because doubling your stack so early does not get you that much closer to cashing. In addition, your stack is so deep that you can play a wide variety of hands in a low risk / high reward scenario. However, taking coin flips might be beneficial or even required at later times in a tournament. When you are short stacked, you generally want to gamble to try to double up and work your way back to a healthy stack. Also, the pay structure makes a big difference. If the next several pay jumps are small, you might decide to take more coin flips to try to ladder up and get to the next big pay jump. [/QUOTE]
