Is It Chasing Or Solid Poker?
 

Here's the sitiuation you hold two hearts in your hand and you know the guy your going heads up with has a high pair. The flop comes you hit two more hearts your hand is still not made but if it hits you will win no doubt about it he bets do you call and if so do you follow through to the end no matter what he bets? Question simplified is it smart poker to be willing to risk it all on the last heart knowing that if it hits you will win? [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

i like how the poll tells me I chose too many options with just one checked

Re: Is It Chasing Or Solid Poker?
 

I'm sorry but you are going to have to be a lot more specific than that. It all depends on the size of the pot (pot odds), how much more you think you can make from him if you hit (implied odds) and whether you could get him to lay his hand down with a big bet (folding equity).

The question you have asked has no answer.

Actually I wonder if its a joke. You can't vote because it says you have chosen too many options. Maybe he knows there is no answer and is taking the mickey.

Yeah yeah, but I got it two minutes after that post didn't I. Been awake too long, my sense of humour is not switched on fully.

He might have been serious. He is new to 2+2, so maybe he is also new to poker and doesn't realize pot size, bet size, stack size, etc., are part of the equation. We've all seen enough bad play to know a lot of players don't take any of this information into account.

For some reason people think this poll/post is a joke. If it is, it's not a very good one.

My guess is, rather, that the poll is misconfigured and the OP didn't understand all the factors that go into making this decision.

To the OP, we need to know more, if you truly want an answer.
