Aye ok points taken, cheers guys.
I knew how much of my stack I was risking making the call. Obviously I knew I was behind but felt it worth the call to see if I could get the set. Had I missed the flop I would've been out of there obviously and I was still comfortable with the chips I would have left. Had been playing with these folk a couple of hours at this point and was pretty sure I would make top 6 whether I won that pot or not, hence me taking a chance on it. I liked the look of it, I felt confident regardless of the outcome, so I decided to play it, simple as that. All the books I'm sure will say I should be folding but having never read one I wouldn't know. All just a bit of fun for me, don't take it very serious, never intend to. If I followed the "rules" I would've given up a long time ago due to the sheer boredom I reckon..
Haven't seen (virtually) you for a while Muse, what you been up to? Still dealing?
