hahahah this is the dumbest thing i heard anyone say regarding poker.. ROFL

I am a card player not a gambler yet you play [B]POKER[/B]....

POKER is a gamble anyway you see it, you could have AA and get beat by 10-2 ofsuit. Anytime you play a hand in POKER you are gambling.

Personally i think it was a very bad play considering the amount of chips that you had. Even if you got AA and shoved it all in there is still a chance that couple of people would call you and you would lose to two pair or better. Even if you are waiting for money you can only last 1.5 around the table which could possibly not be enough time and as you can see by waiting you are taking a GAMBLE. When i play i usually play to win not to make chump change or get my money back... For example

Me and my friends have 20$ tournament every other Saturday and 3rd place gets their money back (usually we have 18-25 people play). Why in the world would i be shooting for 3rd place?? I shoot for 1st place which gets 70% of the pot and last time i won ... I got $250 on my 20$ buy in

In our live tournament it was up to 3 people, i got dealt A A and another guy got dealt 2 9 same suite. Blinds were 800-1600 , i raised to 3200 and he was big blind. He folded and I said good fold and showed aces, he showed me 2 9 same suite than asked if we can run it. We ran it and 3 diamonds came on the flop, and yes this is real life poker not online. So in a sense me raising with AA is a gamble even though i have a better hand. ANY HAND YOU PLAY IN POKER IS A GAMBLE THATS WHY THEY CALL IT GAMBLING.
