Re: Gigabet hand in WPT event.
Only live poker I've ever played is at home games that are as much about beer and pizza as poker, so I don't know about live poker reads and can't really say anything about the meaning of the conversation they had on the turn.
Ignoring that, I don't like folding top 2 in this situation. I would probably reraise the flop with a strong bet and be willing to put them all in the middle, since I wouldn't want to have a trouble card like a 3, 9 or Q on the turn. In any case, congrats to GB on the 20th place finish.

Because he trusted his instincts. Just like Negreanu trusted his instincts a few weeks ago when he was certain his opponent had AA and laid down KK pre-flop (opponent showed QQ).

[/ QUOTE ] This isn't the best example I've ever heard. [/ QUOTE ] It seems like a good example to me. The cases seem pretty similar. Negreanu and Gigabet have similar styles. They are both extreme LAGs who like to see flops and read opponents. In both cases, they outthought themselves and made a fold. In both cases a player who has more of a logical strategic approach rather than a psychological approach would look at hand ranges and say it's probable that I am ahead here.

Re: Gigabet hand in WPT event.
The thing is it's just another good example of why not to make the fold. DN basically said himself before that hand he had never laid down KK preflop before and after it he learned his lesson and he'll probably never try to again.
