Awesome report.
Oh, and to anyone trying to knock the 77 fold... jesus, give the guy some credit. I think he plays at high enough a level that he can make ridiculous laydowns. |

Re: ULTIMATE POKER CHALLENGE DAY 1 REPORT by BLAIR RODMAN
no one was really "knocking it" we mentione that he plays at a higher level and might have extraordinary reads.
But the reason to post hands it to create discussion, we don't have to like everything he does because *gasp* he plays at a high level. He makes mistakes too (as he admitted w/ his river raise w/ AA). |

Look, right or wrong, you had a strong read and you went with it, so props to you. That said, I think I am always calling all in in this spot mainly because if I am wrong, I will live to fight another day.
Awesome report... keep 'em coming! |

[img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] The problem I have with this is that you have to be right like 90% of the time with the pot odds you are getting. I just think this is being too cleaver. If the money was a little deeper, I can see going with this read. I am sure he had a really strong read. Part of it is Blair Rodman's ability. However, part of it is the opponent. Obviously, he was playing a good player who was solid and predictable. Against an online qualifier or a loose player who liked to raise with suited connectors and such and represent whatever hit, it would be impossible to get such a read. |
