I think on full tilt it is always better to not really push till you see the flop. People are less likely to call hands like J,Q os when they have only 2 more chances, and if the board pairs or a flush draw cums... (which I want to count one of these days because it seems to hit way more then the odds say it should)... you can pretty much expect someone hitting that. So I just cut my loses and muck... I suck at poker too but ever since I switched my philosophy to survive, win the war not the battle. I have done so much better in those 45/90/180 things.
