But the idea that if you're not sure in one direction, then the other direction is clearly the right way to play is a patently absurd way to look at it. It's just a huge overstatement. If there's enough information to pull one from one play to the other, then there's a middle-ish amount of information that will let you conclude that it's close.
Lol, now your just being silly, or you like being argumentative. Either is ok by me!
But you clearly misstate what I’m saying. The choices are NOT equal. With pot odds of 10.5-1, you need to be more than 90% sure your opponent has you beat for a fold to be correct. If you are, fold away. If you’re not, call.
If you are 50-50 on the situation and you can justify a fold, you are cordially invited to play at any table I am at. I need to go play a show now; great chatting with you. Cheers!
