How one card can change the results

[wagon596]

Yesterday I finished 2nd out of 27 players in the CardsChat League game.

How one card can change a whole finish? This happened like in the first 15 minutes of the tournament. I had A/K with K being a Club, flop came Ac/ ?c/ ?c. I bet, they go all-in. I call, They had flopped a little wheel st8. I felt I had to call with top pair, top kicker and one card to the nut flush draw. River was a club.. I got very lucky.

If I miss, I finish at the best, 25th..

Nice result there for you. All you need in poker is the best hand at the end of the river and you certainly had it. If that club hadn't arrived then you would have not done very well but still, you need to determine whether you made the correct call...whether you win or lose.

Was the risk of a flush draw versus going out second or third in the tourney worth it or was it pure luck. Check your odds and hopefully you will learn from this. One way or another. Well done on 2nd place finish.

Nice call, I would do the same. TPTK, and nut flush draw, a would call all day and night, all the time. Congrats on 2 place

Good call. Sometimes you got to take calculated risks
