Default Re: When to take coinflips?

it depends on how on deep you guys were playing. If any person has less than 10BB, i'm ready to flip. also, since you were a 3:1 chiplead, and you believe that you are a 65% fav. to win, you are actually increasing your edge by taking the flip

50% you win the flip, and the game
50% you lose the flip, chip stacks are equal
--65% of that time, you still go on to win

So taking the flip here would give you about an 80% chance to win overall.
