Don't Get Greedy
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Eric Afriat was in a tough decision after he bet 1,500 on the river and was faced with a raise to 5,100. The board was reading and he took a minute deciding his action.
Ultimately, Afriat folded his hand, but then he and his opponent began discussing the merits of the river raise.
"It was for value," his opponent explained. "I think there are a few worse hands that call, but I wanted to see if you'd shove."
"Why not just call? You can't be greedy in this game," Afriat advised. "That's when bad things happen."
