Default Re: WSOP last night and Sam Farha

[ QUOTE ]
My bad on position. Now that I think back on it, I guess he did check the flop and then raise after AA bet. Here's my logic on why it is a correct call.

Set flops about 1 in 7 times. AA has about $10,000T, Farha calls about $1,500 knowing that if he flops a set he wins the 10K. Even if he doesn't flop a set, he could still outplay after the flop (Villain could have AK, miss the flop and get passive?), or fold if he truly believes he is beat.

That coupled with the fact that the call does not cut into Farha's already big stack make the play justifiable IMO.

I think this logic is very wrong. I don't think the big blind was 500--it was much smaller (like 50, i think). The guy raise to 2k!!! Calling that does not pay off even if Farah stacks him the times he hits his set and it holds up.
