New WPT episode

Isabelle give new meaning to liquor in the front, poker in the rear

I thought that broad really over did the pokerface/staredown routine. She obviously plays well though.

Did you notice the chicks in the promos were considerably hotter than the people on the show?

Ace little unsuited seemed like it found its way into half the televised hands.

The quality of play was decent considering this was an all female table.

I think that is the same meaning it has always been????

I only caught a few hands of this show. One near the end had a dark-haired woman (S-something) come over the pot of $90K with half of her stack, making it $200,000 to go, with Q-rag.

When Isabelle came over the top, she folded.

Now, explain to me why you'd put half your stack in if you were planning on folding to a reraise?

I agree with part of your sentiment, but what would be the point of NL poker tournaments at all if laying down is not an option?

If conventional wisdom dictates that once you have committed half of your chips, then you cannot ever get away from the hand, then there would really never be any point to raising half of your stack, would there?

That is, if the wisdom were so conventional as to make the raise and fold to a reraise so ridiculous as to comment upon it.

One thing I noticed is that it seemed to me these women were making exceptionally large preflop raises when they were raising first into the pot. It seemed like they were more than doubling the size of the pot, in most instances.

Whatever happened to 2-3 times the bb? I mean, there's $30K in blinds and antes in the pot, and Isabelle raises to $95K preflop?

And it seemed like this was fairly standard operating procedure.
