Default Re: Hand from Bellagion 5 Diamond

I'm just now getting around to seeing this thread and I'm intrigued by it. Some people seem to just take completely for granted that Gigabet will have the perfect read in every situation at all times. I believe, from what I've heard, that Darrell is an extremely talented player and I know that he thought this hand through. But, why isn't it possible that his read is off here? I've played with JJ several times before. Calling her weak/tight is laughable. In my experiences with her, she is as loose/aggro as it gets. Darrell gave you one hand and some conversation to suggest that she might be willing to fold a big hand and this is what justifies a huge bluff against a (supposedly weak/tight)player who showed strength preflop, on the flop, and on the turn? I agree with Shaniac here. I think you just have to give up on the river. It looks to me like she's said "Ok, I'm not folding this hand, keep firing if you will."

Also, let's add this into the equation... When she folded the KK face up against Laak, it was to something like the 4th raise and it was on the flop. That is a much different situation than we're talking about here. I think everyone is discounting her turn call of 200k way too much.
