Danneman isn't nervous AT ALL.

Good fold hachem.

Why is this a good fold? 2-1 favorite for all your money, you can't expect to get much better than that.

Your a special one aren't you, you do realize that Hachem is a 3-1 dog to a set with his flush draw.

[/ QUOTE ]

No I didn't realize that because my viewing and reading comprehension skills are clearly lacking. I seriously thought it was Hachem that had 99 and Danneman that had AKs.

Against what hand? He's a slight favorite against a pair, and a huge dog against two pair or a set.

Even if it was marginally +cEV it was a good fold. They're on a huge bubble, minimizing variance is more important, he should be the one pushing in these situations, not calling.

And Danneman was screaming that he had a big hand, and the pot didnt seem THAT good.

but that said, i think he shouold have led into Danneman.

Does anyone else feel like that Harrah's responsible gambling PSA reminds you of an SNL skit (Horatio Sanz or one of the other cast members whose name I forget)?

Hand 35 - There is a dead button in seat 2, Hachem raises, and Dannenmann calls. The flop comes 10d-9s-5d, Dannenmann bets, Hachem raises to $1,000,000, and Dannenmann reraises all in. (It's uncertain whether or no Dannenmann bet out initially, but the million-dollar bet and the all in are clear.)

Hachem asks for a count of Dannenmann chips, and then spends some time studying his opponent. He even stands up at one point, taking a drink from his bottle of water. He says something to Dannenmann, who then carefully rechecks his cards, and then wipes his brow as if to say, "Phew." Hachem has a small laugh at this, and the crowd giggles as well. Dannenmann is having some fun with him, putting on his sunglasses as if he is deathly serious about hiding any tells, and then laughing and taking them off. Hachem is still standing, studying his own chips as he contemplates the call. Dannenmann says something else to him, and they exchange a few more words.

Somebody at the table calls the clock, and Tournament Director Johnny Grooms says that he now has one minute to act on his hand. About ten seconds later, Hachem folds his cards, and Dannenmann asks if Hachem would like to see what he had. Hachem says he would, and Dannenmann shows pocket nines (9c-9h) for middle set.

It was a $2.5 million pot, and Dannenmann should be among the chip leaders at this point.

Why, you are afraid of a straight?

Your ESPN feed must be about a minute earlier than mine. The last few posts you've made have been about 45 seconds before the actual hand ended on my TV.

Where do I sign up for the fast ESPN feed? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Would you be pissed if you are that Bryant King guy? Finish 21st and get absolutely no T.V. time? I mean i'd be happy with the $$$$, but nowadays with the popularity of poker I wouldn't mind the recognition that goes along with it.
