Here's a good example of what happened to me in the Chip Talk Tourney last night.

I have 76 clubs on the button and limp in.

Flop comes 872.. with two clubs.. So i've hit mid pair with a flush draw... It gets checked to me so I bet $200. Player in Early Position (was it conrad?), check raises me $400 to make it $600 to go..

So now I'm looking at $400 bet for about $1000 pot. I call the bet thinking that he's got something and with the implied odds, if I hit the flush I can break him (maybe I should have tossed it here).

Turn comes Ace of hearts.. Player in Early Position bets $700 K, which would put me all in (I had 700). Pot is at 2,100K. I figure I'm behind with either a set or two pair.

I have mid pair and a flush draw, so I figure the pot is laying me 3:1 but my flush draw is laying me 4:1. So I toss it. He flashes a set of 8's.

I live on.. the only thing I wish I did different was I wished I checked on the flop, I could have saved $600 in chips!
