1k HU stars, what is going on???

[raptor517]

ok, so this is a heads up match on stars at the 1k level. both players are very solid. stevesbets plays high and has done VERY well in his online career. assume that player A is a world class level player. one of the best online players in the world. why would he make this play? thoughts?

He wanted to keep the shortstack alive.

if not a misclick, or a "crap, wife's pissed, gotta run, i'll try to end this," must have read stevesbets for pushing a busted draw, which he probably has beat. Can't discern whether that's any kind of reasonable dicision without knowing what the flow of the match was before it. But obviously it looks very strange, or you wouldn't have posted it in the first place.

Doyle writes in S/S 2 about calling an all-in bet with ~87 and no pair on the river with a player to act behind him. He was confident the bettor had the busted lower end of the straight draw that he was also chasing, and that the 3rd player to act had a pair that could not call after one player already had. Of course he was right.

ok, its pretty clear you all think this is a joke or a misclick. player A is Gigabet. he used up his time bank before making this call. further thoughts?? holla

[mungpo]

I don't understand Gigabet's turn call and Steve's all-in on the river.

I think I know why Gigabet called the turn, but I am still wondering why he called an all-in.
