have you ever used a coin to see if you should call a hand you suspect is essentially a coinflip hand.

No, I usually just follow the table and the actions of my opponents, that's enough for me.

Greetings. I did not use the coin, but I just solve such questions to myself. Like: who does not take risks, he does not drink champagne))))

One who regularly does coin flips like this will soon run out of coins.

Right now for some reason my mouse doesn't always work and it takes a few mouse clicks to register. So lately when I have a close decision I click on one thing and then the other option and I keep going back and forth until the mouse click works. So that way I don't have to get a coin out or spend much energy thinking what is best play.

most of the time yes and you can test the play of that player who is standing at the table, so it's good to do that from time to time!

No, I always try to make decisions by analyzing the facts, and it is not easy to predict the coin flip position, it happens when hole cards are shown.

Well, why go into that stress, if you are almost sure u are winning, u call it, taking of course into account the nature of the villain.
For coin flips, I have the necessary stats in my head, like AK-AJ/QK-KJ/JJ-KK/22-55/66-TT.
You need to learn them by heart as if ur life depends on it.

Well, I never use the coin. And I can check a suspicious hand only on freerolls. In money tournaments, it is better to fold if you are not confident in yourself.

no, just intuition sometimes but mostly I analize the strenght of my hand, villain poker style, my chipstack and the stage of the tournament in order to make a decision.

Using a coin to randomize poker decisions can be a good thing since we are not good at it, that can help us to be unpredictable and make opponents to have difficulty when playing against us.

No, I haven't done a coinflip to decide my next move, because I wouldn't replace the game with just luck, it would be a lottery, not a poker game!

I try to assess my chances based on my skills and experience. I do not like to count on luck.

I haven't, but I do make a play on instinct from time to time.

I don't remember what I did at the very beginning when I started playing poker. But I know for sure that I never tossed a coin. But when I knew that it was a coin in my head, I decided all the pros and cons, and then made a decision.

Hi.
I make decisions based on my skills and experience. If my chances of winning are acceptable to me, I am always ready to take risks. I don't play bingo.
