Have we ever seen a great call of a bluff on TV?

[TheCroShow]

obv, because he knew it was a 50-50 draw right? ppl like you remind me of that guy on the show Tilt. "Doyle, Hansen...I always know what they are holdng!" "Yeah because you see their hole cards on TV." your opinion=results oriented [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Colson... that hand you wrote about was amazing. Great stuff.

Michael Gracz made what will eithe come off as a genius or horrendous call with Ace-high when I bluffed allin with KJ at the 1K rebuy FT. I think the broadcast is 8/30 at 9PM EST. Stay tuned I guess.

This hand almost brings a tear to my eye. Great stuff.

Moneymaker calling whats his name from the crew for all his chips with a pair of 5's with 3 or 4 overs on the board

gus hansen calls (i think) freddy deeb on the river. action is something like:

deeb limps on the button, gus checks in BB. gus bets with Q5 on a board of K62r, deeb calls. turn is an 8, check, check. river is a Q, gus bets, deeb raises [note it can't be a missed draw on that flop], gus calls.

deeb's comment later was great: "i wish i could play against him every day of my life."

Probably not on TV, but wasn't this supposedly one of the most legendary calls of a bluff of all time:

Back in 1992 at the World Series of Poker (WSOP), world champions Mansour Matloubi and Stuey Ungar faced off in a series of $50,000 buy-in heads-up freezeouts. Mansour tells me he was at the top of his game at that point
in his poker career, having won the WSOP in 1990.

The game they were playing was no-limit hold’em, and the blinds were $200-$400 when the following hand came up. Stuey opened for $1,600 from the small blind, and Mansour called with 5-4 offsuit. After a flop of 7-3-3 rainbow, Stuey bet $6,000 — he started the hand with $60,000 to
Mansour’s $40,000 — and Mansour called. On fourth street, a king came off and both players checked. On the river, a queen came off to make a board of 7-3-3-K-Q, and Mansour, sensing weakness in Stuey, bet his last $32,000
or so. Stuey looked “right through” Mansour, and within 10 seconds he said, “You have 5-4 or 6-5; I’m gonna call you with this.” Stuey then flipped up 10-9, and called the $32,000 bet with a mere 10 high. Wow, what
an unbelievable call! Stuey couldn’t even beat a jack-high bluff with his hand, never mind any pair. In fact, Stuey could beat only 5-4, 6-4 or 6-5 in this scenario.

Yeah, this call was mentioned in One of a Kind (which I can hands down recommend to any poker player out there) - and I agree, possibly the best call ever by one of the best players ever.
