Thanks this does help. I know in the past, particularly when playing live, I have been reluctant to get my chips in on a potential coin flip for fear of going out. I know im not going to win much with that attitude!

I don"t think it"s possible to go a whole tournament without being in a flip situation at least once - the trick is to maintain a healthy enough stack so that when you get to the flip hand, you are not the one at risk.

I won a flip in Walsall in Feb09 - not won one since though. Hell I can"t even beat T4o with AKs on a K hi board can I Marty?!

i had at least 48.6% equity on tht flop ;)

for me I"m happy enough above 20bbs. 13-18bbs is a good stack for re-shoving light against the right players. 12bbs or below i"m not playing any hands where i"m not prepared to get my whole stack in, but would still stick to playing only decent starting hands from anything other than late position with 8-12bbs. Anything below 8 or so and i"m looking to shove unopened pots at any opportunity.
