for example, two days ago i 3.5bet to an unopened pot with 4c6c...and i got one caller in the BB, flop comes 3 clubs J 3 5, sweet, i flopped the flush w/ the belly to the straight flush...i bet the pot to make it look like i didn't want someone drawing to the flush...guy snap calls out of position, based on what i saw he probably had the A or K of clubs with another pair or maybe a hand like Kq offsuit with one club...anyways, turn brings a 5 of hearts, ok he could have slow played a set here but i didnt think he would have given the flop of 3 clubs, he prob would have check raised me on the flop, or bet big right off the bat...so i overbet the pot and shoved all in, HE SNAP CALLS with Ac Jd...all of his chips on a ace high flush draw with only 5 clubs that help bc of my straight flush draw, one of 2 remaining jacks, or 2 remaining 5's gives him the full house

the odds, on the flop, i'm 77% favorite to win....
on the turn im a 79.55% favorite...

and ofcourse the river is the 8 of clubs...giving him the ace high flush....im sorry but im folding that hand with just an ace high flush draw and a backdoor draw to the boat...but i would take that call all day because 8 out of ten time by the turn you know your getting doubled up if he calls...oh well, i'm still alive, i lost about 8 bucks on that pot...just another example of a bad call based on pot odds, the only way i call there is if i already have the flush or obviously if i flopped a set and turned a boat...ONLY WAY I CALL there for my whole stack...granted i didn't play the hand traditionally and kept it small, but i flopped a flush and i wanted to get paid off by a donkey...
i agree with both of you.............

I cahsed out 950 worth of chips to NDN and got 5 bucks to my carbon account....i played soo drunk one night that i tripled it to 15 bucks because i didnt care about the 5 bucks.

anyways i sat down at a heads up table with my 15 and this guy had $25 bucks.

he chased me down when i had top set with a j5 flush draw. and he hit it on the river and then pushed all in. i laughed at him and folded and showed it when i had half my stack invested.... well he said thank you to me.......


20 min later i lefted with all of his money he had on the table and he bought back in for 50 bucks.....i was laughing and said thank you and sat out.

but a lot of people do chase that flush on carbon.....i deff. agree with that.
