Are you suggesting there is something wrong with risking $9 to win $0.10 with no outs?

Its a great a move. Why try to bluff with $1 when you can with $9. I was just stupid enough to have the nuts and even worse call with it.


To be honest half of his stack was from me any way, so he didn't risk much.

I simply didn't believe he had a big hand when he raised with Q's. My 6's did catch a set on the flop, but he caught his Q on the turn.
