My First Mookie

I played in my first Mookie tonight on Full Tilt. slb159 staked me for the thing. I finished 26th out of 71. I heard I won some points for the blogger leader board which sounds like fun. Didn't win any money though. I'll have to play in the next one now, heh. I did have the satisfaction of busting out Waffles though. It was folded to me on the button and I held 44. I raise 3x bb, small blind folds and Waffles pushes his short stack all in. It's a coin flip most likely so I call. If I lose I still have a manageable stack. He shows Q6 and my sailboats hold up. I can't wait to read how I played that like a donkey in his blog tomorrow :)

I thought of something recently. When on a flush draw, you figure you have 9 outs so you calculate pot odds based on that figure. But realistically wouldn't you agree that the odds of a player or players folding at least one of the suits you need pre flop to be high? I think one would have 8 outs or less a reasonable percentage of the time. Mind you 8 outs isn't that much worse than 9, but 7 or 6 outs is significantly different. So why calculate 9 outs every time when considering pot odds? Something to think about...
