huge leak, in the long term a chip bleeder

[/ QUOTE ]When you hit a str8 or twopairs you can often double your stack. The hand in it self are a big bleeder but in the specific tourney they can be a good start to an early chiplead.

If you try this 500 times at the 10/20 level and only hit good 5 times where you double up from ~1500 chips you'll lose 500 x 20 = 10.000 chips and win 5 x 1500 = 7.500 chips (net -2.500 chips).

You'll be -25% on the hand but when you do double up your $EV (not chip EV) will bu much higher then the loss of 20 chips.
