Re: Johnny Chan Angle Shot in WPT Championship??

No, it doesn't matter. The issue, though, is whether or not Chan was shooting an angle.

Re: Controversy and Interesting Floor Decision at WPT Champ...

It's not so bad, in that the pot went to the right, people, I just don't get how you can split a pot without a hand.

Re: Big game at Bellagio (Not Beal\'s game)

Actually, I'm not a troll, I responded with "Doyle told me" because that's how he began the argument. I made a statement that I had heard that Sam was one of the donors in the game, and he asked,...

Re: Controversy and Interesting Floor Decision at WPT Champ...

Yeah, I was making a joke there, that's why it didn't make sense. Of course I was kidding. My reaction was to the not having a hand at showdown but still being able to split the pot.

Re: Controversy and Interesting Floor Decision at WPT Champ...

Thanks, didn't realize that if you declared that you were playing the board that it was okay to muck. In the places that I've played, you still have to show down your hand.

Re: Controversy and Interesting Floor Decision at WPT Champ...

Wow, what a terrible decision. By that logic, next time I fold preflop, I should be able to play the board if a straight shows and take a part of the pot.

Re: Big game at Bellagio (Not Beal\'s game)

You're right, I was exaggerating, but relative to the other players, he's "the fish".

Re: Johnny Chan Angle Shot in WPT Championship??

Thanks /images/graemlins/smile.gif I was too lazy to do the math, but that's the gist of what I was trying to say.

Re: Johnny Chan Angle Shot in WPT Championship??

13000 would be a big overbet. It is likely that he only wanted to bet 5k, which would be just about the pot size.

Re: Big game at Bellagio (Not Beal\'s game)

Right, that's precisely why I said that they include PLO in the mix when he plays, to keep the fish happy.

Re: Big game at Bellagio (Not Beal\'s game)

No, but Barry Greenstein's player profile on Farha indicates that they structure the game around him (i.e., they always include PLO when he's playing). This is something that players in a big game do...

Re: Big game at Bellagio (Not Beal\'s game)

Farha is pretty fishy in every game but PLO, from what I understand.

Re: Humberto Brenes- How good is he?

Imo Humberto is a tougher read than both T.J. and Doyle.

Re: Omaha/8 low hands

The wheel is not always the low nuts, but it is the best possible low. Here (http://www.lowlimitomaha.com/reading_the_board.htm) was the first link I found on google about reading the board (you...

Re: Did I deserve to be berated for this play?

That was my take on the situation too. CO tried a trap and it failed. He should be berating himself.

Re: mirage 10/20, TT hand

Would there ever be a reason to check behind on the turn to induce a bluff on the river? Or is his play erratic enough that he'll try the semi-bluff raise, bet on the river with a flush draw (in...

Re: Temp\'s K5 All-in Push

IIRC, the pot that you won amounted to about $3.5 million, so your all-in raise was not much more than the pot if it was even pot sized. In fact, I remember looking at the stacks and thinking that...

You might want to be more specific. What kind of tournament?

Re: Humberto Brenes- How good is he?

He wears two pairs of glasses and does a huge, exaggerated, standing motion where he waves both arms forward for all-in. Master those two techniques and you too shall be the best. If you could wear...

Re: WPT 1.5 million dollar suck out champ

The show that helped my heads-up play the most was the live tourney that Fox showed from Turning Stone. The edited shows don't show enough ante-stealing and that tourney gave a much better picture of...

Re: WPT 1.5 million dollar suck out champ

Every once in a while, someone makes a good read and/or a good play. I thought that Temp's semi-bluff all-in with the 63 suited took a ton of heart. Doyle trapping Lee at the Bike with the straight...
