I remember seeing a video by Chris Moneymaker where he said something about when playing pocket pairs if you miss the flop you should only continue with the betting as long as it's 1/15 of your stack or something. Is that a good rule? my numbers might be off. lol. I was just finishing up a MTT where I was in the money, and was the shortstack. I get dealt pocket 88's so I limp in, I get to see the turn for free. Then to see the river was 1500. Of course I fold, and an 8 hits. There were two other people in the pot and it would have completely turned my situation around. Of course if I paid the 1500 and it missed, I'm pretty much dead. Just curious in regards to chasing flushes, and straights as well.
