Surely there are times.....

....just to check it down.....I asked him why he didn't just check the pot down, no reply.....on the flop I have an outside str8 flush draw.....with a str8 possible....by the river I was sure I would be out kicked.....but surely this is one of them circumstances where you just want to bust out the all-in man.....who may I just add was CL up until 3 hands ago when he came against my JQ against his KQ flop come xxJ he puts in a hefty bet, I go all in....he turns over his cards and I'm just begging OUT LOUD.....NO KING!!!!!!!lmao

I just went through a situation where there were 6 of us left in a 27 man SnG and top five get paid. The very small stack was all in in the BB with two other callers including the chip leader. They both check the flop and on the turn the CL puts out a large bet chasing out the other player. Hes now HU with the small stack but all he had were 2 overcards and the smallstack ends up winning the pot and is back in the game. The other player that was forced out of the pot said he would have won that hand. So instead of being in the money we now needed to wait another half hr for the bubble KO. I also asked the CL why he didn't just check the hand down. But no reply.

I once got a reply... "I want the pot" so greed gets in the way of common sense. Small stacks and sitouts get second life (:
