Default Re: Why is it if you do well in a TV tournament you are imediately BAD

Not sure if that is true.

The plays people sorta make fun of and pick on are when somebody calls a big bet with a raggedy hand...w/o proper pot odds to make the call. Thats why people ripped on Tuan Le....for calling with the worst hands w/o odds, and then getting lucky and winning. It didn't help that he was totally arrogant about it...like he not only deserved to win, but he was destined to win.

Calling a large perentage of your chip stack with an inferior hand is generally a horrible play in tournaments(while pushing with it is not so horrible).

I think maybe you misinterpret what others are writting or perhaps you are hearing only what you want to hear.
