You bust out the three, and you rebuy, and... you're back where you started, but down an entire buy in.<br /><br />If you can just drop 23 more bucks into your stack, why go nuts with the remaining two, and then buy for 25?<br /><br />And btw, just for my own curiousity... on that 9T hand you capped.. wtf did the other guy have? 99? 88?<br /><br />I have a feeling I'm going to be pretty amazed at what he was holding ;PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410122.post-1094067179380477152004-09-01T12:32:00.000-07:002004-09-01T12:32:00.000-07:00As my friend Steel_Rain would say, this is a stati...As my friend Steel_Rain would say, this is a statistical anomoly. When you're nearly down to the felt and you opt to 'turn up the agression' you may not have the cards to really make that pay off. More often than not, you're just throwing your last few chips away (this goes for tournaments too). From what you described above, you got some very lucky draws playing any two cards. I think that probably falls more into the luck than skill/agression category.Andres Silvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04216375546624626774noreply@blogger.com
