Default Re: WSOP last night and Sam Farha

Sammy is a LAG and a great one at that with excellent hand reading capabilities. After doubling up his stack he had the chips and odds to try and hit his set versus the 20xbb raiser with AA. He knew the guy had AA and would get his stack if he hit.

LAGs need to build a big stack early so they can continue to see lots of flops as the blinds increase. Sammy knows that if he doesn't take chances to gamble early then he can't play his style which he feels gives him the best chance to make a deep run.

Honestly the worst thing for Daniel was having Farha at his table. After DN's WSOP troubles last year in trying to bluff amatuers, he wanted to play TAG ABC mode against the ametuers early on before switching to his normal, more laggy play. But the worse thing for a TAG in ABC mode is to have a great LAG at your table. They can kill you just as Farha did to DN.
