Re: Hoping for Coin Flips
When you're talking about calling the push, it's purely a pot odds question. Give Villain a range and determine your equity and pot odds. When it's a borderline situation, you might take into consideration the size of your stack (if it will cost only about 10% of yout stack to call, you should be more inclined to coin flip- your chips are worth less than Villain's, since his are his last) and table image (if you've just gotten to the table, you might make a slightly loose call to send the message to others not to mess with your blind).
The real key to winning coin flips is aggression. You want to be the one doing the pushing, hoping to be in a coin flip situation IF you are called. If Villain folds 20% of the time, you've turned a 50/50 situation into a 60/40 situation.
