Default Re: Monumental mistake by Wasicka in the ME?

I'd call.

I actually posted this problem in another forum and wasn't happy with the dialogue as it was dominated by a nit, who just wanted to be right and wasn't really thinking out the alternatives.

I think the math also supports a call. I tried to reconstruct the hand from the Card Player logs, but their numbers, it looks, are inexact. I'll post what I got if anyone wants. Barring a big mis-description of the hand though, I'd call after a long time of trying to figure out the math.

Wasicka is being offered a little over 1.5 to 1 on the rest his money - but 2 to 1 if he guesses that Binger - who led at the flop with 3.5M and has 5.5M left over - would call.

I'd call because I think I'd get 2 to 1 on a hand that I believe is the favorite, I'd still get 2nd if Gold busts us both, and I'm not really scared of a higher flush draw being out there.

I certainly understand the psychology of the fold and the difference between 2nd and 3rd place money.

But the angel and devil on my shoulders are arguing, and it's the angel that's saying, "Call!"
