If you're not, you can find better spots. It would make me sick to ship $700 to a fish and then have to walk away from the table.
Clear Winner....... although others have alluded to it. That shove represented about 15% of your current role if I'm not mistaken?
Couple personal questions if you don't mind IMP - how solid is the remainder of your role that you are expecting, in other words, is it at all possible that money will not come through? And how about doing some math for us on your current hourly rate, not including the money made back at the BJ table, only the loss in the 2/5 and yesterday's tough beats. I thought hand 2 was spewy BTW. Not criticising, if you didn't have wife and kids I would be morally opposed to offering any opinions to my competition at all and would say nothing.
I personally have no need to be an aggro balla, all I care about is walking out of the casino most nights with a few hundred more than I walked in with. I fold hands all the peen waving in this thread would cringe at, but I consistently walk out of that casino with hundreds more than I walked in with and my mental state remains as constant and steady as the money. If beating 1/2 1/3 in Vegas was all about being an aggro balla, more people would do it eh? (Note to peen wavers, bite me
You are so right IMP that variance has to equal out eventually, no reason to help it out with flips for huge sums.
