Paul Phillips WSOP Hand - Page 5

I love how people rant about it being a coin flip and then completely ignore the 5750 already in the pot. I also love how poorly villain in the hand played his hand. I just wish Paul would have won the hand.

In a tournament, with as many chips as Paul had (2 1/2 dozen BB's), the call is absolutely terrible. Big time DONK!

Maybe if you repeat yourself a sixth time without any supporting argument, THAT'll be the one that tips the scales.

Indeed, I think it was higher. I was unlucky that he had the ace of hearts in his hand.

LOL,.. You gotta be kidding me.. Is this a joke? You're a put on right?? How'd you get into Paul Phillips account?!

Agreed.. This call is absolutely hideous.. People condoning it because "Hey It's Paul Phillips, I must be the right play" are complete morons.

I don't know what Paul was thinking but his head wasn't in the right place on this hand.. A player of his ability risking his entire tournament on a 50-50 coin toss.. When he's capable of outplaying half the field.. Big Time Donk Call!! BIG TIME!!

Horrible, Horrible Call!

So someone puts you all in while your holding AK and your assuming pocket pair here... so you'd basically not call here just because it is a coin flip and ignore that the pot has also already grown to 50% of your current stack? I wonder how many people run you over in tourneys with that weak tight play?

You have to believe that he has more than the 38% that he needs, right?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes I think so, I just wanted to point out that this is not as a clear call as some of you think.

[/ QUOTE ]

sure it is...what's the hand range?

I'll start:

AK/AQ
AJs
AA-77
KQ (weighted by .5)
Harrington's 10% bluffing rule (we'll use 5% since some of the bluffing hands are actually beating PP)

Given that range, he's almost exactly 50%.

How narrow would the range have to be to justify a fold?

Your turn.

Me too.. then all these people would be applauding PP for making the correct call in such a difficult situation!

no, they would still be trolling because that's what they do.

Yea.. Keep playing pots that'll knock you out of the tournament 50% of the time and give you no piece of the prize money.. That'll get you a LONG way!!

LOL.

He must not have had too much confidence in his ability that day if he couldn't get himself anything better than a 50% shot to double up.

"but.. but.. but... HE HAD POT ODDS!!!"

LMFAO!!

The call is +EV if AK is in the hand range no matter what other hands you surmise

[/ QUOTE ]

I agree with this, my point is the following, there are 16 combinations of AK, and 18 combinations of AA,KK,QQ (Lets take just 16). I don't think that in a WSOP event versus a player you don't know is equally likely for him to bet his last 10k with AK or AA-QQ in this spot.
