Message: [QUOTE="primrose, post: 7179871, member: 1036998"] You're playing texas hold'em. Your hand is a Royal Flush (not a draw to the Royal Flush; the hand is completed). It's your turn to act. You fold, and this was, without a shred of doubt, the correct decision. Why? [SPOILER]Hint: it's a cash game... [SPOILER]You're playing blind vs blind in a limped pot, so there's 2 BB in the middle. It goes check-check on all three streets. The royal flush is in the middle. Your opponent puts you all-in for 100 BB. You could call & put in 100 BB to chop the 202 BB pot, but because of the rake, you'd get less than 100 BB back, so it's a losing call.[/SPOILER][/SPOILER] This is probably the cleanest answer, but it's not actually the only one. There's actually lots of answers if you get creative enough... [/QUOTE]
