Re: Simon Trumper
Simon made either the greatest or worst laydown in the history of my poker watching when at the original heads-up poker championships in Vienna, he folded Kings preflop(actually, timed out after ten minutes) to ron rose's reraise all in. It was actually heart-racing TV to watch his facial expression as the tourney director counted down from 10, as soon as the TD said the hand is dead, he rolled over his kings, and Rose showed him KK also....
A bit of a blowhard, and seems only to do well in tourneys, but has some serious game. |

Re: Simon Trumper
You'd have to see the actual action and bets/raises to make an opinion on the hand
There are some very rare instances when deep stacked in a HU tournament where you could justify the KK fold. |

[/ QUOTE ] Like I said, either the most brilliant, or the worst laydown I've ever seen. It's been 2 years since I firstr saw it, and I still don't know which. But yes, the action must be seen to properly deduce, and I don;t know the exacts at the moment. Either way, i HIGHLY recommend the video, called "world heads-up poker championships-2001" Best poker show I have ever seen, by a long shot. I believe it was Dynasty that first brought it to my attention, but maybe not. |

Re: Simon Trumper
I'm guessing you werent actually referring the 'interview' where the cardplayer guy is hitting on the female dealer... What was it?

Re: Simon Trumper
The basic action went Vince (it wasn't Ron Rose, but I don't remember the guy's actual name other than Vince and it wasn't VP or Burgio) raised. Trumper reraised, Vince moved all in. Trumper gave it all the time then timed out, showing the kings. Vince stupidly also showed kings. Trumper's basic read was that the guy had either AA or KK only based on how Vince was playing.
Vince went on to win anyways, despite this laydown. Had I been Vince, I would have shown one king. |

Re: Simon Trumper
I wouldve feigned absolute astonishment that anyone would lay down KINGS as I mucked my cards.

Re: Simon Trumper
Some research indicates: it was Vincent Oliver.
Why? He seems tiltable, and showing a king will make him realize he almost certainly folded the winning hand. |
