Default Re: Interesting hands leading to PCA championship for Ambrose...

stevepa,

You mention calling or raising in the last hand, but not pushing. Why?

[/ QUOTE ]

I felt like pushing would look more like a flush draw than simply raising. I'm not 100% sure this is how he interpreted it, but that was my feeling at the time. So instead I raised an amount which showed that I would play for all his chips without actually pushing all in.

Also, in the first hand, you said if you had bet 225 and he committed himself, you would probably fold. But after putting 500 in, he pushed and you called. Was that as simple as "you bet too much and felt pot-committed" or was there anything more to that?

This hand I just didn't think I had as many chips as I did. Betting 225 would've left me enough chips to fold to a big raise but after he raised my 500k bet, I was getting well over 2-1 and felt I had to call.
