Why don"t you want the money in here when he has the bare flush draw?
because we do not what he has due to our position....we are rather hoping he has a draw...
but surely you can"t fold to the possibility that he has a flush, so many people overplay overcards with the nut flush draw...this guy didn"t even have that!
I think the way i see it is that leigh did nothing wrong and the other guy overplayed his hand and got lucky, i really don"t think there is anything else to it?!
your basing everything on that leigh has led out , what will happen is that he can only be left with a tricky decision...
Does not being aware of an opponents style/hand ranges/stack size come into the equation at all? is this a small buy in mtt or have i mis-read it...or are the the blinds really 40/80 and there lots of weak players still in?
Meh i must be wrong , forget reads on opponents , forget position , forget taking into account the texture of a flop , just play your cards , never fold and connect BRA to head put on lucky pants and always hope that your opponent has the hand that your beating and get all your chips in.. EASY this poker malarkey
im not saying that you shouldn"t take all those things into account, but for me personally i don"t see any way that leigh could have played this differently. We very rarely have the nuts in poker, therefore there is always a hand that can beat us. Am i folding just because he MIGHT have this hand and he MIGHT have that hand, just because we are out of position and there are over 20bb...NO!! He was only beaten by the made flush, and we all know the odds of flopping a flush. Leigh would have won the hand if the guy had correctly folded to the re raise.
there was a situation just a couple of days ago in a hand where i had flopped the nut straight early in a tournament...i had managed to create a big pot when on the turn the guy re raises me all in. I still have the nuts, but there is a draw to a higher straight and im pretty certain the guy has a set( which he did )..... so then do you call with the nuts or fold due to the fact that you could get outdrawn? just because it is a weak table and i have plenty of play left? surely you call in the hope that he doesn"t outdraw you (which he did). I think what im trying to say in a muddled up kind of way is that i hate taking unnecessary risks at the start of a tournament, but there are some situations where the possibility to accumuate chips can"t be turned down. I think leigh got himself in a similar situation to mine, he got it all in good and just hoped not to get outdrawn.
just say he had checked and the villain checked behind...what does leigh do on the turn then? check fold?
