Re: Neverwin at featured table
[ QUOTE ]
Best hand of the day and nobody posts it... Cliff Cantor: Out With a Bang ($46,245) Log: What does a bad beat sound like? Cliff Cantor is all in, and when the river card falls, he lets out the F-Bomb loud enough for the entire tournament area to hear. Since he is eliminated on the hand, the ten-minute penalty is pretty irrelevant. Cliff Cantor is eliminated somewhere between 150-160, earning $46,245. [/ QUOTE ] Quote from Cantor After flopping a set and getting rivered by a flush, Cliff Cantor had this to say "Even donkeys need love." Kevin...

Re: Boyd eliminated
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I don't get when it became bad poker to let your opponent see a flop. Presumably, if an ace flops, the guy is going to avoid going broke. The large majority of the time, the guy is going to win an extra 50k; only in rare cases will he lose an extra 250k by letting Greg see the flop. Even in the actual hand, Greg got a great flop and was only even money. [/ QUOTE ] It was a mistake because he allowed Greg to not make a mistake by calling. Greg would have called that bet even if the guy flipped his KK up on the table. He violated the Fundamental Theorem of Poker -- anytime your opponent plays the same as he would if he could see your cards, he gains and you lose. [/ QUOTE ] Exactly, in matter of fact he virtually did flip his cards up. Greg knows it is KK or AA (leaning to KK because he has an ace), and by having A10 in his hands if an A comes, he can deduce AA and try and trap his opponnent holding KK. By pushing Greg might make a mistake if he had AK or QQ.

Greg is ahead on the flop like what, 1/6 of the time? And the remaining 5/6, the guy picks up the pot including an extra 50k. Also, talking about it as a face-up situation ignores the fact that Greg will sometimes call the flop bet when he's behind. I think the only way it becomes a mathematical mistake is if the guy plans on pushing the flop even if an ace comes.
