anyone who´s yoloing it up from 500 to 5k with possible not much more money to their names never finds a better spot for wealth building than taking a 75% fav flip.
what do you think he´s doing with the 5k? grinding nlh 1/1? having a massive edge in poker in general?

yoloing it up =)

i would have asked him to run turn and river two times. Otherwise i dont think i risk 4.5k for one hand if i have no money more to live.

maybe everyone should consider the following hypothetical:

You're in a fishy uncapped game. You buyin for $500, run it up to some large amount. A crazy rich guy says he'll flip a flush draw vs your set as many times as you want, however after each win it's for double the stakes. You agree and win 3 flips. Now the money is getting pretty huge. How many more times do you take this flip?

Crazy this goes from a 27 bet into a ~60 pot to a 5k allin. I understand the decision you had to make, but I call this every time.

+1 to showing and trying to make a deal first tho.

why consider something that will never happen irl?
i´d stop after winning the flip for 64k since i am good at flipping

You mean kind of like this original HH? Notice this was the OPs first post and he has since disappeared?

it's important to know your tolerance for free roll prop bets. you never know when a rich crazy guy will cross your path.

It's possible that he didn't encounter a spot before where he was risking 1.5k+ in one hand.

Couple of months ago I was playing PLO200 and ran it up to 2k which ended up being around 12.5% of my BR on the table. I kept playing because there was a fish at the table and it seemed the +ev thing to do. The fish then doubled up a reg in a huge pot so that the reg was also now sat with 1800.

At that point the fish left and the table ended up breaking - but had he stayed, what would be the +ev thing for me to do? I mean, I wouldn't really fancy flipping in a huge pot for a large chunk of my BR if I got in a big pot with the reg. But that's prob going to be a rare event and there's lots of ev to make off the fish.

Obv in PLO I'll never get villain overbetting 200x pot or anything ridiculous like that but still - if I have AA, I don't know how happy I'll be 4 or 5betting it in this scenario.

how many spades or pairing(for him) cards have peeled off in the first 3 flips?

Id probably run out the entire deck.

Telling him to cash out and spend the monies on a great drugs fueled suicide makes more sense than saying lol call then.

There is also the thought that OP is actually a losing player. I get the sense that this is certainly possible if not likely. From a pure money making standpoint he's much better off putting it all on the line as a 3:1 fave then he is slowly losing it over a liger stretch.

Coin flips FR stacks favor losing players since they'll lose over the long run otherwise.

LIGER STRETCH!

Son a mother ****er phone god damn it.

I'd stop if I got to $32k. So I'd want to win 6 consecutive flips.
$500 -> $1k -> $2k -> $4k -> $8k -> $16k -> $32k

If I had a bigger bank account, then I'd be more willing to continue, but I don't.

he shows you AJ, you snap show him top set and ask if he wants to surrender $2k now or run it once.

+10000 to venice s answer. hate others stupid bored kids' answer.

but then it s not about "u have 10x ur buy in now".
u also need to consider that even for a Pro player he wouldnt have 1kbb spot all the time. says if negative variance gets u there : even if u were pro it takes time to get the positive variance to catch up.

it totally relies on how 4.8k is significant for you.

But again, if u have a regular income of more than 2k a month - with no specific case (oweing money to bank or ppls... or someone sick at home) I think it s fine to call a 75/25 for 4.5k especially u started with 450 because if u lost, u can just consider that you lost one buy in of 450 that night ))

call me next time, i take spot if i win i give u 1k if i lose i give u back the 4.8 k so u can freeroll
