first off, im not condoning this type of play. this match was just a $100 side bet between friends to see who could finish their match in the least number of hands. i decided to take the all-in, every hand approach. it just so happened to work out for me.

Lotto poker at it's finest. Though I don't understand how or why you decided to play it this way. It worked though.


As for the initial post, I'm not sure I would have call the All In on the turn with a pair of Kings. There's still plenty of poker left at those blind levels. NH W16227.
