  2. I let this go. Your stack allowed you to wait it out until the money where this play would of made way more sense. I understand the whole play to win not to money thing. Really, I do. But here with your stack Im all for fold preflop or if the table is playing like fearful bubblers then i can reconcile with the raise. But when Mr. Giant Stack bigger than my face at the table calls it and you bomb the flop (i see the clubs), you know hes going to lay you out for all your worth. If i know im going to war with the big stack i like to have some kind of artiliary because he can and most often times will see it to the river. I check the flop, forget about my balls, and fold (I know youre four to the flush). Sit cool until 2 more drop and then start the prayer rituals. But personally its a fold preflop with your stack, you know its going to get ugly if someone calls, and KJ is not a quick and dirty hand right there.
