Message: [QUOTE="Pokerpoet2, post: 6918955, member: 430261"] One of the Many Mantras I constantly use is "If you ain't had to Pay, You don't need to Play" Which basically means if I have not posted a blind, there is no reason to play those 2 cards in my hand, no matter how good they look, there is nothing forcing me to play those cards, Even if I have posted a blind there is nothing forcing me to call. This is where having favourite hands falls flat on it's face, Just because you think they are your favourite 2 cards in the deck, does not mean you should play them, Position is far more important than having favourites, and if you are short on chips and out of position, then folding is really the only option or going all-in and busting out. In one Tournament I was involved in I was dealt K/10 off suit and even though I would normally limp with that hand, The player UTG pushed all in stating he had his favourite hand, Initially being on the BB, I considered folding, but as the rest of the table folded around to me, he made a crucial mistake of adding "J/10 suited I never lose with it." I instantly called. My reasoning was, I don't believe in having favourites, also if he was playing J/10, I was in the lead already and only had to beat his Jack, We both missed the Flop, Turn, and River and I won with a Pitiful King High. If he had kept his mouth shut he might have won the SB and BB, and still be in the game, Instead he became History! NEVER HAVE FAVOURITES! Another Mantra I constantly use! [/QUOTE]
