Risk

Sometimes the biggest risk we can take is to say no.

Of course! I take risks all the time ... I only try to correct the ones that are unnecessary but many of them lead me to gain confidence knowing that sometimes taking risk is the RIGHT thing to do

For sure! We have to be plan, study, make important analysis and understand if the risk are valuable. AA allin pre flop is a risk? yes, but you have to take it! ahahah 7 2 pre flop allin is a risk? a lot, so dont risk. easy like that. ahahha

It should be understood that those who do not take risks do not drink juice. But it is also worthwhile to understand that by risking you can lose everything. If we take your situation, I would risk it.

If the stake is not much to lose, if I take the risk. For example, when I am in tournaments and my chips are almost ready to eliminate me, I risk playing cards that in a good position I would not play.

I've seen that pop-up, from the original post, and found it a bit sneaky/underhand.

It's going after someone's base (degen) instincts when they are in a euphoric mood having just won a difficult SNG :mad:

It's another example of poker sites slowly creeping into gambling games/targeting casual players.

If you've just won against 8 or 9 opponents using stategy, logic, probability assessment etc. then why give it away for a complete flip.

Besides, its a flip where you don't even know the odds. It may not even be 50/50 as its a computer generated outcome.

I hope that the majority of people manage to resist it - whichever boardroom suit at ACR designed it doesn't deserve vindication for 'increasing the bottom line' :mad:

Poker and gambling is a game of risk. Not a bank account. Nothing is guaranteed.

Stock market is a bigger game than poker. It can be much more rewarding or killer

Played a $1.65 buy in and won $1.00 in KOs. I flipped for it because I hadn't won yet. I wanted to either win or lose, not get back part of my buy in. I won the flip, so I profited $0.35 in the tournament! That was my first buy in tournament that I won money! Does it still count? I haven't flipped again.

Completely dependent on how well I'm running at the particular moment but obviously I must be running OK since I have the win. Risk not Want not.

I'm very risky when I play low limits.
I'm sure it's because of the short time, but I love the adrenaline.

Yes actually this is my pitfall when i play freerolls. With a lot more rest, i would get much further in the free tournaments.

Even if its 50/50 it's a 0 EV play. 0 EV plays add nothing to your win rate but they do add to your variance.

Oh no oh yes

Very often, when I take a risk, I lose (so there is very little to risk. I think so. And if the risk is of course justified. As we Russians say, who does not take risks, he does not drink champagne)):elefant:

Seems like everyone defines "risk" in a very different way in their minds. So yeah I take risks. Or hmm waait I don't.
