Re: Unabomber bust out hand: good semibluff or resteal?

Obviously a major misread. Antonius raised only 2.5xBB, which the Unabomber obviously interpreted as weakness.
Laak is pushing 2M to pick up a 400K pot. K3o is not a great restealing hand, but plays OK against some calling hands.
I am not sure if I like the play, but it is not as bad as it looks.

Why is this 'obviously' a misread. For all you know, Antonius has raised 2.5x the last four times Laak was in the blind. If his range is wide, then it wasn't a misread, Laak was just unlucky to run into the top end of the range.

K3o is not an obvious hand to resteal with, so he must have had some kind of read that Antonius did not have a strong hand. Maybe it was just that Antonius was a big stack and had been putting in a lot of raises. Obviously his read was way off, since Antonius turned over aces.

Antonious having aces =! his read was off. Either way Laak is horrible so talking about his hands seems an exercise in futility.
