Re: The dude who cried when his K high flush lost
I thought that guy was Mike McClain - the one that was in the "How to play NL Hold 'em" introduction near the end where Lon says "...or breaks you!"

[ QUOTE ]
I haven't seen a lot of hand analysis on this, and I tend to think it might have been a poor call. Granted, ESPN almost NEVER graces us with the pot size, bet size, etc, and we did not see the run of the hand until the river, so it's not as easy to judge. But if you're forced to call off a large percentage of your chips on a river raise with a three-flush board, I am not sure you can call without the nuts or a dead-solid read. And it is read-dependent, no doubt. Again, we didn't see the hand play out. But you when players move in on a three-flush board, they're almost always on 1) a bluff trying to use a scare card or 2) the nuts. I would guess there are plenty of fish out there who overvalue J-high flushes, etc, but at that late stage in the main event? I think if you call off that many of your chips there, you can go ahead and stop talking about how you've played "perfect."

Re: The dude who cried when his K high flush lost
A striking similarity indeed. His face in 2003 even has that same grimace.

Re: The dude who cried when his K high flush lost
Just to clarify a couple of things:
He DID pay the people he owed. I was one of the people who had 10% of him. There were three of us who each had a 10% stake. He has paid all three. He did not win his seat in the Reece's charity tournament, but rather one of the other charity games in town. And no, that's not him in the 2003 WSOP -- this year was the first time he ever played in it. --Headhunter

No one plays perfect poker over three days. You can play your "best" poker, but not perfect.

Re: The dude who cried when his K high flush lost
I know...that was something else. Totally uncomfortable. Oh yeah, I think he also cried when he saw that his A Q was up against A K for all his chips. But he seemed to be playing solid textbook poker, and you had to feel for the guy....NOT.

I guess it would've been "perfect" poker if he sucked out on the flop instead.
