Balancing is important in playing poker. You must know if a risk your taking is worth the reward. Sometimes odds are surprisingly good but the consequences are not as good. Check out the following examples:

Example 1 – A well-to-do man came over you and offer you $1,000,000 to play Russian roulette for him. He hands over a six chamber gun. Will you accept it?

One million is a very good reward in this game because you have 5 out of 6 chances that you’ll get it. But one million is not good enough if you end up dead. Even 1 out of 6 chances of taking a bullet in your head is big enough reason not to take the offer of the rich man.

Example 2 – You’re one lucky person ‘coz you won $5,000,000 in the lottery. At this point the same man at example 1 challenge you to a coin flipping contest. If the coin toss results will be head then he will give you $10,000,00, double your money and if its a tail then you’ll give him $5,000,000.

At this example you’re offered very high odds. 50% chance to win $10 million dollars. However, you also had 50% chance of losing $5 million dollars to the same man. I think if the rich man offered a lesser amount of money as bet, you could have tried your luck into this. But an all or nothing situation like this does not attract better individuals.

The above examples are far too extreme to be applied in poker but it has some points that agree with the game. For example giving up a chance of winning because of the odds in the rewards.

Check this out.

If you got a free roll in a world tournament and end up being short in chips and a person away from the bubble, then its time for you to make a decision that will be advantageous for you. You can make the money and get a considerable $50,000. You have been also informed that someone have beeb eliminated. And if you lose this certain hand, you’ll end up with no money because you have lesser chips than the other players.

At this particular hand you have a hole card of Aces. If you fold your hand you’ll win $50,000; if you play and lose you’ll get nothing and if you play and win you’ll get the blinds, or times two or three of the blind.

The situation here is that, even if you win and triple your winnings you are still down and there’s a little chance that you can gain a boost up to the money ladder of the tournament. This is enough to justify the risk you’re taking of losing $50,000.

There will be times like this wherein you’ll have to weigh the risk involve even if the rewards are super high. Check out the odds of you, winning and losing. Sometimes the rewards is not worth the risk involve. So always think twice before you make any move.

Remember that in a tournament especially if you are deep stacked, there is always a better time to win a pot. So that’s where you have to place the money.
