Biggish early hand at Euro's - thoughts please?
WYoung83:
Steve you had all those outs and couldnt even hit a barn door? I know the feeling by the way. Its happened to me quite a bit on the cash tables. I flop a open-ended straight flush draw, and still miss......

you need 32% winning chance to call, and you had around 33-35% with what the pot is offering.

It"s a tournament, not a cash game.
WYoung83:
I know this of course. Havent you read anything by Gus hansen? He is a great tourny player, there are lots of examples like this in his aussie millions book, and he ironically, is a really really really really bad cash game player....
MintTrav:
Mmmmm, friendly! So does Gus recommend getting half our stack in on the flop with the belief that we have 9 outs while not knowing if our hand is good if we do hit?
deanp27:
generally you should make +EV decisions in tournaments just the same as you would in a cash game. However it is fine to turn down small edges in high variance spots if you want to play a lower variance game, which alot of players do in live tournaments as opposed to online.
