Message: [QUOTE="Mr Sandbag, post: 2300806, member: 98413"] Great post as always. Especially relevant for low stakes live poker. Whenever I get into very marginal +/-EV situations - like flipping for stacks pre - I tend to fold even if I know I'm ahead. A perfect example is a hand awhile back when I raised to $12 pre with QQ, and a guy 3bet shoves for $200+. I'd seen him do this before with AK, but I folded. He wasn't a good player. I knew I had a huge edge on him overall. And if I called and lost, my edge would be "dulled" by my emotions. Why flip for stacks and put myself in a super high variance spot when I can avoid tilt and retain a massive edge over my opponent during every hand after that? [/QUOTE]
