TWLLM and I disagree on whether my play here on 4th was correct. This might be just because we're different styles of players, or it might be because he's right and I'm not.
This is the way I'd usually play this situation (without a specific read on a player). 4th is cheap...I'm getting something like 4-1. 5th I;ll reevaluate and throw it away if I don't like what I see.
In some ways perhaps I'm trapping myself, I dunno. It's generally working quite well for me. Perhaps this is because I'm just an unmitigated luckbox as some nits claim
TWLLM thinks it's a leak in my game. I'm open minded. It might be a big leak, but it 'feels' like it's the right play to me.
I'd be interested to hear what other people think about it. If they can back their thoughts up with solid math, I'm interested to see that too.
