Re: What was Phil Ivey thinking?
I got the hands mixed up, sorry about that. I'll have a better recollection after I've watched the reruns 50x. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
That was the hand where Bellande said there were 2 people at the table he wouldn't be able to get a read on, Phil and Jennifer. So he said he had to go by 'feel' and that he felt he had the best hand. Correct?
People make mistakes and this very well may have been one but when it's from a player of Phil's caliber, I instead try to figure out 'why' he made the play he did. And due to the editing, I often may never know. Sometimes plays taken out-of-context seem strange to put it kindly but when you know more details, they don't seem so strange. Both Harrington and Raymer have provided details/perspectives on 2003 and 2004 WSOP final table hands that seemed strange when viewed for the first time but aren't so far-fetched once you hear their perspective.
