WSOP - Heads up with Scotty Nguyen HAND #1

[Montreal_Hitman]

WSOP - 2nd level - Blinds are 50$-100$ I have the "chance" of having Scotty Nguyen at my table.....

My stack is about 11 000$. Scotty has been raising at will for an hour and everybody always folds to his raises.

I am in the SB with JJ. 3 players folds to Scotty who raises to 500$. Everyone folds to me and I call. Flop comes 4-10-10 rainbow. I bet 650$, scotty raises 2000$ more and I muck.

I put him on either QQ, KK, AA or A-10....

Comments?


Thanks in advance.

Ugh.

To make that raise, all he has to do is believe YOU don't have a T. I would NOT have bet that flop into him, but check-raised him. In either event, as much action as you say he's been giving, I likely would've been willing to risk all my chips on that flop.

When I re-read my hand, I had the exact same reaction as yours....But it was my first time at the big show, facing one of the best players in the world and there was a lot of camera around our table.....I should have played that hand differently.

I think you will be more please with my moves on the 2nd hand....

Thanks!

When someone is getting that much respect, and speeding around like there's no way he can lose, it's time to make a stand against him. With that hand and that flop, I'da gone all-in against him. If he beats you, well, he just got lucky.
