Define "coin toss"
TopPair2Pair:
Probably the most overused phrase in poker. Define it.
At what % are we no longer in a coin toss? mathmatically 50.01%.... but practically and on a individual level what say you?
LongshanksED:
i know what you mean by overused phrase but i find its far more overplayed
find too many a player all in with AQ or AK when they put their opponent on a pocket pair and are happy to take the 50/50 - especially in tourneys/sng"s that have a slow blind level, especially online
somehow online i find it hard to get away from AK or AQ if im 1st into the pot with it yet when i play live i can easily fold if i have a read on my opponent(s) many a time i"ve folded AK or AQ when i"ve open raised as it would knock over 1/2 or 2/3rds my stack early on in the tournament when my opponet shoves only to be shown 10-10 or 9-9 - yet the dealer rabbit holes the cards and i see i would"ve won
ive said time and again i"d rather call all in with JJ to 77 (depending on read on opponent) than call with AK or AQ pre flop

Anything upto 60/40 is a coin toss to me, you are basically taking the skill out of the game and going racing, losing at 60/40 cant be considered a bad beat so its a coin toss.
