Default Re: Jack-High and Jim McManus

I don't remeber Powers being allin before the flop either. however based on his play that day I don't think he had any concept of other peoples play, he was playing fast and loose againist everybody, he got lucky a couple of times early but was bleeding chips off pretty quick before he was taken out. "World" Henningan(Sp?) wasn't as affected by Powers but he did ask for the floor to be called. Also Powers raising in the dark wasn't a one time thing, we only got to see it the one time because of the reaction to it but all the reports I read said that Powers raised in the dark several times.

If the tactic was working for Elix, and I thought I could get support from the table to peer presure him into using it less, I might call him out on it.

I haven't thought about it too much, but I'm not so sure having your opponent bet in the dark is always good for you.

Powers was all-in before the flop, as I recall. If McManus did beat him with a set of sixes, I seem to remember he had two overs before the flop, and picked up a draw to win the hand by the turn.

McManus's apparent image to Powers really didn't have anything to do with the hand he busted out on. I do remember that much.

No, he was not all in preflop. He bet out on the flop and turn to go all in IIRC.
