Re: Paul Phillips, $2-5 Mirage
[ QUOTE ]
To me his play looked horrible but Im wondering if he was taking all of these shots with the worst of it in order build a huge stack.

Yes. This new trend toward buyin caps drives me crazy. I have to be able to cover the table to properly dominate the game.

PP has a brand new $500 stack and raises a straddler to $50 LP comes over the top all in for $300, BB goes all in for about $400, He thinks for a second and calls w/ T7s.

That hand was the turning point (that was my 4th $500 buyin.) I left the game a $3000 winner, barely able to carry all the racks to the cage. Not too shabby for six hours of 2-5 NLH. I don't normally reveal my cash game results but in this case it goes to the heart of your question.

his attitude suggested that he was just gambling a bit and that all of the chips would be his soon.

You left too early. They all came home where they belonged. I actually put on quite a clinic that night but it sounds like you left at exactly the wrong time.
