Re: Trip Report from the WSOP $2000 LHE -- Long

In addition to Chan, there are several twenty-something online players, all of whom seem to know their stuff. They’re very aggressive and clearly understand the math. That said, they occasionally play too fast. Noah (“Exclusive”) Boeken is a good example. He moves into the one seat and raises from MP; with one caller, I defend in the BB with Ac6c. The 110:1 flop hits me right between the eyes, with a Qc Tc 4c. I check and Boeken bets. Caller mucks and I smooth call. I let Boeken bet it all the way on the 7d and 5s, then river-raise, which he instacalls. He shows JJ. I understand the value of aggression, but that’s taking it a couple of steps too far.

I think waiting till the river to checkraise is a mistake here. Additionally, I think his only mistake is the river call. I do play strictly cash games, though.
