Ah Todd Jesus, either add somehting or don't post.
There is a rational argument for both. I've played and won at online poker since 2004. that's how I got into being an affiliate. I know poker, maybe not as well as PPP, but I play 5/10 online and live when I get the chance. There is no absolute answer to 99% of most poker situations. If someone tried to tell you there is, then you need to speak with someone else.
Poker is not played in a vacuum and this is actually a great poker discussion thread that probably should be moved at this point.. The big issue that stands out to me is that players do not play like they did in the 80's or 90's, poker has evolved and the size of the WSOP shows that. 10 years ago you would be playing agiant 2-300 other poker pros in the ME and giving credit for a Royal would be justified. Now days that simply is not the case.
Hell, if you play poker at all now days, you knwo there are players that think "OMG, top pair all-in baby" - I have also seen player call off hundreds of dollars when they were playing the board. Time and time again new fish stack off everyday with hands they should have dumped PF, from what I've read and heard the ME is the fisiest pond on earth.
Anyway, looking back it's easy to say "yeah I knew he had a Royal Flush, he should have just called", but in reality I would imagine that putting someone on a royal and just flat calling with quads was a bit more difficult..
