Re: MGM Grand - 4 hrs with Phil Gordon (OT)
[ QUOTE ]
The QJ hand, he bet more than I should have called on the flop and way more than I would normally consider calling after that turn card. The only reason I went that far was so I could say I played a hand against Phil Gordon.
The way I played it, he probably pegged me for a loose passive player at that point. The reason I put that hand in the post is because I think it had an effect on how he played the next one.

Hey, I should have been clearer, sorry. I was wondering about the AQJxx hand, not the T8x hand.
Maybe I'm being results-oriented but I think you shoulda mucked the AK. I think so because of what Phil was likely to be thinking of you at that point. Namely,
1, you're a random 1/2 player so when you re-raise you have AK/AA-JJ, maybe AQ-AJ.
2, you're a random 1/2 player, so you always think your opponents are trying to bluff you. You will therefore be uninclined to muck QQ/JJ on that flop, and will certainly not fold AA/AK.
