Default Re: WSOP ME theoretical hand

as always, it depends. although I think you have named a situation in which the average internet player playing his first big event will go broke, while the seasoned pro will often survive, not because he lays the hand down always, but because he will slow down and recognize a situation where if he continues to bet hard he will only be called by hands that beat him. So perhaps he bets and gets raised, calls and then check calls the turn and river where an internet player would get it all-in on the flop.

What's tricky now is that many players who aren't used to playing deeps stacks overplay their hand, so where before folding AA wouold be quite possible in these spots, now it is more likely you are up against a worse overpair. So, sometimes you go broke and sometimes you squeek by, but folding is much much tougher.
