The Official Joe Awada Thread
This guy deserves his own thread. Awesome player. Totally outplayed that douche bag Fishman, but the cards didn't come his way. That beat Scott threw on him was terrible. I felt bad for Awada, but that's the way the cards go.
He also took down that Stud tourney and got his bracelet after all. First place and a 2nd. Not bad. Anybody know if he made other final tables or finished in the money on some other events this year? |

Re: The Official Joe Awada Thread
Very impressed by the man. Very classy. He's good for poker.
I really felt for him when he had that beat put on him, especially when Fischman was woopin it up. He certainly deserved better. |

That guy was sweet, a circus performer turned pro-card player?

When Fishman actually outdrew Awada on the river, Fishman had nine outs. The draw Fishman had on the river was no different than a flush draw. I guess you've never hit a nine outer on the river? |

Re: The Official Joe Awada Thread
It was hard to tell how many chips were in the pot before the flop and after, by my recollection. May have been a ABC play by both players. I think there was a raise and reraise before the flop, so there may have been only a fraction of the pot left in each other's stacks to bet and call with.

Re: The Official Joe Awada Thread
Repeat: he didn't get the money in on the turn. The money went in when he was 75/25, that's when you establish (IMO) the degree of the beat. This is worse than a flush draw because the money got in when he was further behind then a flush draw.
Using your logic, if AA went all in, and someone with 97 called when the flop came 984. It wouldn't be that bad of a beat if the turn came 6, and then the guy with 97 hit a OESD on the river. -Jason |
