The title of this post is an old poker expression. In a nutshell, what it means is that there's no shame in going all in and losing if your hand is a premium one. That's what happened to me on hand 51 on Saturday night. I got it in good with pocket kings. Three of us went to showdown. After the flop, I was a 51% favorite to win the hand; one of my opponents was a 29% dog, and the other was a 16% dog. There was a 4% chance that my two opponents would chop the pot. My first opponent hit a straight on the turn, and I hit the felt. I never feel bad about reupping in a situation like that; I'm secure in the knowledge that I made the correct play. Coincidentally, I played another 51 hands, and ended the night with a nice profit. That's three 51s in one session; very curious!
