"I Made the Right Call"

[user4144]

As Beth Shak departed she was continually repeating to husband Dan, "I did the right thing, I made the right call."

When she actually made the call, I recall Beth saying, "I might be crazy, but I'm going with my gut," and although her gut was spot on, was it still the right call?

At one point, Beth turned to Dan Shak and said something along the lines of, "The way she's (Annette) playing it was only a matter of time before she was caught," which would make me think that even if you do have your opponent pipped, you can perhaps find a better spot rather than run the risk of being outdrawn by the flush, not to mention any other live cards your opponent has.

Not a criticism, but just food for thought. It seems to be an area in poker that causes a divide, some players being in favour of getting the chips in when you are ahead, whatever the circumstances, whilst others might consider folding a leading hand and wait for another, and ultimately better, opportunity.
