Playing HORSE last night, I made one big mistake. I had about 1/2 of the chips at the table with four or five players left and I decided to try to complete a draw against the next biggest stack. About midway through the hand I realized that I was drawing for no good reason. If I won, it would be great, but a big stack would not be playing a speculative hand, so I was drawing against a made hand when I did not need to. Of course I folded, but I lost precious chips. If I had not played, I would have accomplished two things. First, I would have maintained my chip lead, and second, I would have denied the other big stack more chips, As it ended up, I finished second to the guy I gave my chips to. I can chalk this up as a lesson learned.
