Message: [QUOTE="Ronaldadio, post: 525210, member: 11310"] [b]In a way I agree.[/b] I struggle to explain this one, but I`ll try again. If you play properly u play by the odds, etc. However, this is based on other peoples play. So, if u have some clown pushing all in with a flush draw - probably 100 times the bb in a MTT, and u r sitting with a set, what do u do??? This is made worse by the fact the guy to act after u is a maniac that will call the slightest draw and he has more chips than u. So your odds. playing `properly`, would be about 5:1 fav. However, this reduces massivley with the fact that your set is middle set and there is an ace on the deck, meaning u know the nutter could be sitting with 2 pair, or even worse, top set. It could be that I simply don`t understand the game - could it be that all u need to do is raise raise raise and u will get lucky when u catch a monster hand or the odd time u have a hand no one believes u??? I`m playing in a $2/4 limit game now. I play tight. I get pocket K`s, raise the max. I lose on the river to a guy catching a flop of 10JQ4 - he hit straight with AK - I had him dominated. Next hand I play in the big blind QJspades. Flop 89J. I raise, am called. 7 next. I raise, called (I`m worried about straight) last card 2. I check, he checks and shows down J9=2 pair. Preflop had him dominated. I then am on button with 22. The pot is raised 2 bets by UTG but 6 callers so I call. Catch trips and win pot. Then QQ, raise to max, no overcards, catch trips on river. Win pot. So my point??? I think u need to concentrate on every hand. U can`t miss out on an implied odds opportunity. Also, from time to time, u need to take a calculated risk/ gamble. That is what these guys do and what Gus Hansen does. What they have over me, however, is they play position so much better, have lots more experience and have a much better read on players than I do ;) [/QUOTE]
