Re: never go all in with a potentially beaten hand

Fossilman, you made exactly the right play. You were going to be called - a pair of Aces is hard to lay down, but with two cards to come, you were a 24-to-one favorite to win. In that situation, if you made the same move with $1000 24 times, you\'d win $23,000. Don\'t feel bad because you lost one - this is a game of recognizing and exploiting advantages, the small ones and the big ones. The element of risk exists, sure, but you have to be willing to lose $1,000 to win $23,000, otherwise you shouldn\'t be playing the game!

GL and don\'t sweat the bad beats - if you get sucked out on, it means you played the hand correctly.
