I think you misunderstood -- I wasnt saying that it was unlucky -- in fact I said if he told me he was gunna call if I pushed and then showed me his cards, I would of just folded to his raise. I made the play because itd increase my stack by over 50% and I knew he was weak and probably would (and should of) folded to the raise. I was just pointing out an instance where bad players limit the things you can do. (such as make this play, instead I would of had to fold to the raise. Or do a little stop and go without a pair on him -- that would of been funny lol) Its especially annoying in a game with such an odd blind structure, where you are forced to make moves
The adapt to your game part is dead on though. I think thats the single most important thing you can do in any tournament / cash game.
