KKF folds made flush on flop vs Mahatma...

[ QUOTE ]
It's cool that a 2+2er is making so much money at the highest stakes of NL, but I don't see a need for an update every step of the way. Maybe I'm just different than most poker players, but I see no value in watching others play, except for sweating close friends (and that's just for fun and not strategic merit). Is it just enjoyable to watch thousands of dollars being tossed back and forth, or do you guys try to play along with the hands ("I would have done this")?

it's kinda entertaining to me. Some of the appeal is the drama, some of it the analysis of the hands

Other than "I had a read," is there anything else that could make you want to fold a hand THAT strong against mahatma?!

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the hand KKF, but if you keep it to yourself, I understand as well.

and THIS was the point of my post, as well. im curious as to why one very strong player would fold a made flush against another very strong player - and rarely do we have a chance to ask one of the aforementioned very strong players precisely his reasoning.

i guess my mike sexton/tapioca pudding jokes kind of brought on the junk that followed, and hence i have noone to blame but myself... but seriously, isnt it an interesting enough hand on its own merit?

Well, your website said at one point PM if you have any questions you'd like answered. If that's what you're [censored] about make sure to take it down. I've sent it to you.

And I personally don't care who you are. I'd be datamining the game if you're there or not simply to play hands back. I think it's cool you're on a tear and all but I'm sure as sh!+ not schlobin your knob. If you don't like the fans, kill the website and change your name.

I've been datamining these games, and I try to play along if I'm at the computer(which I was at the time of this hand). This hand was interesting...and why KKF folded here and showed was even more interesting. I'd love to know if Mahatma had the flush here...

I don't have the luxury of sweating NL players, because I don't know any that play NL I'm sure I'll get to at one point, but at this time I'm currently new to it and suck bigtime and figured that studying the higher limit players would be educational.

Terrible idea. If you try to play like the big games at lower stakes, you'll lose a lot of money. If you "suck bigtime", I suggest reading Small Stakes NL and learning by playing and thinking through hands at your level. Higher stakes are like a completely different game.
