Do you have iron balls ?

In no limit, its quite important to have the guts to risk chips on marginals situation. I dont talk about fishes who raise all-in with crap only because they dont know how to play. I mean players who can play back at others because they have the balls to put an opponent on a hand. Best exemples are players like TJ Cloutier or Phil Hellmuth. Personally, i have more like "wood balls". I have some guts but I wouldnt risk too much on marginal hands, prefering to wait for premium hands. I tried to play higher limit, 5/10 $ ring games. I realized that I didnt have the guts to play back at others, in fear to be played back again. So my question is : How hard are your balls in marginal situations ?? to Alex : hahahaha, thanks for the good laugh ;) to ZCT : I feel the same way really. Actually I avoid playing marginal hands, prefering to give up the hand than putting an opponent on a lower pair when the flop come 47T on an unraised pot, if you see what I mean.

  1. My balls are great, thanks for asking!
  2. My balls are changeable. I find it harder to have iron balls during a cash game, because I hate to donk off a bunch of chips when they are worth real money. In tournament play when the extent of my loss is predetermined (the buy in), I am far more inclined to take those risks, as it is generally necessary to win. So basically my balls are of variable density and depending on the situation. Thanks for asking ;)

  4. My balls are changable. I have and sometimes do play marginal hands, although mainly if I have a nice stack of chips. (3rd or better on the table) Since I'm a tight player, I get away with it a bit more 'cause everybody thinks I have a hand. The only thing I change from playing a great hand is the cards. I keep my betting pretty much the same.
  5. My Balls Are Hard As Reenforced Steel
  6. there are times player require to make some "iron ball" raise, call or bets! more in tourny cuz u can't re-up the chips u play with... but in live-ring games, less "ball" is require due to u could always re-buy urself in after u go broke. if u have "wood balls" try playin' limits that u could re-buy in few more times and still dosen't really hurt ur bankroll. i'm playing the limits that is comfy to me and didn't feel much needs of "iron ballz".
  7. If your hand rates 40% go for it higher than that call no raise next bet all in noone knows for sure thats why they call it gambling ive floped a full house 9s over4s on the turn I went all in your right he had 4 4s nothing is for sure salvation the river was my 4th 9 true story but figuer the odds key word gambeling dont take balls just a chip & a chair
