Poker

I finally started my poker project and it got off to a great great start. Ill let on to what it is later on.

In some poker analysis, heres a big hand from late late in a huge 11+Rebuys tournament. I think i realyl blew the hand. I like how i played it preflop, but i needed to call even though i missed the flop. Iting over 3:1 to call on the flop after he pushes. Its a stop n go play it looks like, as he instantly pushed on flop. Theres a wide range of hands he could have....immost likely not far enouhg behind to make it worth a fold. If i win, ive got 240k and cruising deeo into the tourny with a good chance to final table. Folding, im left short and yes i soon busted. I shoulda taken longer and thought it through. Hopefully next time ill call in this spot. Im looking at two things here: 1) My chances of winning the hand and 2) the effect winning that hand will have on winning the tourny. The possibly low % of #1 doesnt negate enough the possibly huge upside for #2.
