No, I've never used a coin to decide whether, or not to play. For me, I live or die by my idiotic decisions.

Flipping a coin puts the game into the realm of lottery poker. That would be a real shame to lose a game on a coin toss, especially if you've been playing a tournament of two hours.

I only play a coin with very good hands based on my little experience, but sometimes I play a coin with potentially good hands if my opponent bluffs very often and plays all his hands very aggressively, it all depends of course on the opponents at the table and how they are playing! Good luck at the tables!

Never did that. It seems to me that if you flip a coin, you will still hope that some particular side will fall out: either heads or tails.

A nice idea to make a coin flip situation what it is 😁
But I never did it and I never will do it….if I have to make a decision I prefer to decide by myself….cause in poker a correct decision is still a correct decision although you loose a hand….and a wrong decision will still be wrong although you might win the hand…..😉

And have you? I don't think that flipping a coin is valid way in decision-making :)

I try to stay away from coin flips, bit sometimes they can't be avoided. It's part of the game.

No, normally if I dont know what to do I fold. It turns out to be the best choices most the time.

If it's binary, no coin needed

If it's a 50/50 chance, a coin-flip, I don't need a physical coin. I do it in my head, and usually the answer is, "yeah, why not, I've got even odds, time to go for it."

no because I think it is better to make decisions by thinking about the hand

It’s a flip…

Flip a coin… literally… or just coin the phrase. 50-50 decisions are common… just have fun with it.

I tossed a coin when l had to make important decisions in my life.Probability is a mathematical concept.Since there are only two sides to a coin,the probability of getting heads is 1/2 or 0.5.

No, I never did that. I only take risks when I have a real chance to win, and I never take unwarranted risks.

It is not possible to make a decision at random, as mistakes cause huge consequences. The decision must be taken carefully. Life is not a game.
