OMG she said the funniest thing to one guy, I am still wiping the tears out of my eyes
I'm gonna have to start playing these things, they look like a blast
Question: Any reason to bet on the end?
Answer: "No. Just check and see what happens. If he makes a big bet, you're going to throw your hand away. If he makes a small enough bet, you'll call."
Action: You check and he checks. He wins the hand with a pair of jacks in the hole.
Summary: "A tough hand that ended up costing you a lot of money. As we've seen before, it was only the initial move into the pot that was a mistake. After that, all plays were reasonable, given the pot odds. This hand and many others show how important that initial decision to play the pot really is, and why it's so dangerous to get involved with sub-par starting hands.
Note also that the jacks missed an opportunity to make a little more money by betting on the end. Weak players lose a lot of money over the course of a tournament by missing these high percentage situations. Good players don't."
