I'm curious, would the answer hold for a limit game too???

Well anyway I still learned a lot from that particular hand. As someone once said about no-limit tourneys, "nevermind protecting your hand, protect your stack."

Maybe it is be

But, to me the overall answer doesn't add up. Far be it for me to argue with you about the overall correct and most prudent play, but I just can't see the reasoning add up through all the streets.In the quizz you say you opted for a free card on the turn because you were afraid you had kicker problems.
