Couple of hands I've seen in the WPT which I think are interesting so far.
1) Hellmuth raises with Jc8c, Muhhomad calls behind him with 88, ACkerman calls from the BB with T5. Flop comes giving Hellmuth a straight flush draw, and Muhhomad nothing, there's an overcard or two to Muhhomad's 88. Acerkmen leads out big (is his gutsy play here okay or too fancy and foolhardy?) then Hellmuth just minraises him. If I rememer right, Acerkmen just needed to call another 70,000, the pot was 300,000... Of course Acerkmen had nothing so it didn't matter, but why did Hellmuth raise so little? Is a raise that little really effective?
2) Muhoomad comes in for a raise in EP with AK, Hoyt reraises from 50,000 to 200,000 from the BB wtih 33, muhoomed thinks fora while and calls. Flop comes AJx and Hoyt leads out all in. Is this lead out all in here good? At first it struck me as a bad play, but maybe he can get him off TT QQ or lower piars...
