Message: [QUOTE="F Paulsson, post: 374214, member: 6979"] Did you have any reads on any of the people in the hand? Otherwise: Bad call. A couple of observations: Your outs weren't clean, 1. You weren't drawing to the nut flush 2. You weren't drawing to the nut straight Furthermore, the odds were very barely there. You got ~2:1 if you thought ALL your outs were good, and that's what the pot was laying you almost exactly. You should avoid close gambles in tournaments, especially calling an all-in. Pushing is better than calling, because in this case, you had no chance of him folding - you had no "fold equity". Third, and this is a big one, you weren't last to act - there's another guy behind you which might kill your outs. I suppose if he calls you're probably better off than if he folds (because you have reasonably strong draws) but so why didn't you push the rest of your stack in? It's a fold. Pushing all-in isn't awful, but calling is pretty bad here. [/QUOTE]
