Re: ZJ, Ozzy, and FoxwoodsFiend...
 

and ZJ takes 1st and 136K, not bad

Re: ITS OVER
 

if he wasn't waiting for a pair there he's absolutely crazy not to push AJo pre there.

With those stacks? I'm not a tournament player at all, but isn't that just a bluff? Best case scenario if called is a coin-flip against TT-88.

coin flip or no, getting your money in postflop w/ ace high isnt very appealing

Congrats...
 

Nice win Justin...look forward to reading about it on your site.

It seems you are ignoring the first half of the statement that you are quoting.

Re: ITS OVER
 

The flop move isn't a value push with A-high. If ZJ has overcards, he's out of there. Kometen can call preflop with AJ and make a decision based on the flop. The stacks are deep enough to allow for flop action. Once Kom sees this board, he knows that ZJ won't have a big hand most of the time. It's a pretty damn tough call with something like 77 for $50k in this spot.

Re: ITS OVER
 

That actually looks like a pretty good board for 77.

Re: ITS OVER
 

Ok, maybe I'm just castrated then. I realize that Kom is probably pushing this flop no matter what cards he has. Do you call with any pair? I understand calling with a T, but if you call with 22-77, Kom has at least six outs if he isn't beating you already, unless you totally luck out and somehow get pair over pair.

Re: ITS OVER
 

"I realize that Kom is probably pushing this flop no matter what cards he has"

"if he wasn't waiting for a pair there he's absolutely crazy not to push AJo pre there."

Both of these quotes mean about the same to me.

And I don't see much difference between T8 and 77 on that board. 77 has to worry about 88 and getting couterfeited... otherwise they are the same. The pot is so big that if you think you're ahead you really must call and hope to hold up.

Re: ZJ, Ozzy, and FoxwoodsFiend...
 

Funny that this post was made, because I made an identical post here and the moment I posted it, ZJ knocked out FF. So I deleted it :P

Re: ZJ, Ozzy, and FoxwoodsFiend...
 

ZJ is silencing the haters with every tourney he plays!!!

IT IS THE ALKANIZED WATER FILTER BABY!!!!

Re: Congrats...
 

Genius, FSU.

that's pretty different, and villain will have unpaired high cards a lot of times given the action.
