There is no incentive to get all in without the nuts in many, many spot because of the relational nature of what others are doing. When we stack off with kings, we are saying our opponents have a certain frequency of risk taking. Gauging our opponents' tolerance for risk is one of the primary skills in poker, and even the final tablist of the WSOPME don't show too much of a feel for it, never mind your average 1/2 schlub.persuadeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18337258853109676125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-70864755913974144712018-07-13T18:10:05.871-07:002018-07-13T18:10:05.871-07:00You get a pic of Oprah.....and you get a pic of Op...You get a pic of Oprah.....and you get a pic of Oprah....EVERYBODY gets a pic of Oprah!<br /><br />Heh heh...well sorry about that but I really knocked this one late, late and just didn't have time to find an appropriate cheesecake picture.
