Re: Is it ever correct to go all in on a draw?
Thanks to all who defended me, but I'm a big boy with tough skin and I really don't need any defence.
I have no problem with a stern reply.
Just try to include something in the message that teaches me something!
I really didn't mean never ever call.
Its obvious that there has to be some situation where its mathematically corect to call!
I asked because I ran across the following 'lesson' in
NO-LIMIT TEXAS HOLD'EM by Daugherty/McEvoy (page 233).
Its a similar situation.
****
$1-$2 blind no-limit game.
You have only $25 left with $2 in the BB.
Your Hand:
Ah 9h
5 players limp.
You check.
Flop: Kh 8h 3s
Action AL to your left bets $12 and everyone calls.
Pot now has $72.
You have $20 left.
What's your move?
Analysis:
You have flopped the nut flush draw with five other players
in the pot. If you call, you will only have $8 left. This
is a good opportunity to gamble.
Our suggested play is to raise the rest of your chips-go all in....

Any comments?
