Re: Interesting hand from the WSOP Circuit Night Event
Irieguy,
I feel like I did a bad job communicating what I meant to say last post. I actually liked reading it and found the hand fun, I just think that you need to have a strong inclination the tourists will not get involved in this hand. If your read on them was that you were certain (enough) that they weren't getting involved, then I obviously like the play.

Would you risk 275 of an 1800 chip stack to win 1100 chips with 5-2 against a random hand? Of course you would.
Would you limp with 5-2 for 100 chips and 1800 behind from late position with 2 limpers? Of course you wouldn't.

You are probably right. I respect this move here--its very elaborate and fun. However, I think the entire validity of it depends on how often you feel the tourists fold, and that is read based. Not only on your descriptions, but just your gut on how committed they were to the hand.
