What's not true?
And I'm not sure I understand what the similar play would be later. Are you saying he risked 20% of his stack on that call to set up his image as a calling station so that...

Re: doug lee is gooot!
I wasn't necessarily questioning the call. I was questioning your characterization of it as "aggressive."
