..at the WSOP last year, both Jim Lester & another player(Steve Riehle?) made the exact same call w/KQ in NLHE events; Lester against Jay Heimowitz holding a K8[flop ~T97]. Probably knowledge of your opponent is the key factor here; note from the video that Stu called John Strzemp when JS made a river flush, then told Gabe Kaplan something about wanting to see what he had.


Stu's best play that day was probably the bluff against Ron Stanley, which Kaplan called immediately on the commentary after Stu's raise on the turn[and he analyzed it unbelievably; just a little different than the Travel Channel crap] while Hellmuth had no clue. [img]/images/smile.gif[/img]


Again, very good call by Stewballs, but not unique to top players. Now, Erik Seidel's call w/AQ at the '99 WSOP and Ram Vaswani's overcall w/2nd or 3rd pair in the $2K LHE this year[both against 'unknowns'] were GREAT calls.
