Re: Henry Tran???
I dont think it was as bad as Chad made it out to be. If Lindren has anything but the queen he mucks. If he has a weaker queen he probably mucks and he has outs. On a scale of 1-10 1 beeing worse 10 being great i give it a 5. As it was marginal and read dependent. Eric is agressive and a check raise on a ragged flop like that might be an attempt with no hand.

Re: Henry Tran???
Considering Eric lookd to seriously consider folding I'd say it was teh best move.
1. Eric is better you gotta look for a spot to get lucky. 2. Possibility of taking down the pot by forcing a fold

He made the right move because he needed to gamble vs. a player who was much better than him. He got it all-in with him only as a 2 to 1 dog, with a bit of folding equity. For him I think that's a good play, all things considered. [/ QUOTE ] If I ever get to a WPT or WSOP final table with these guys, you'd be seeing me push with any type of strong draw or Top pair type hand. Otherwise, I'll be getting grinded to death by the pros. The move wasn't as bad as people are making it out to be.

Re: Henry Tran???
That's a very good strategy. As Sklansky has pointed out, one of the "flaws" of the no limit game is that a rank ameteur can go all in preflop, TOTALLY NEGATING every advantage the pro might have, his years of skill, his position at the table in the hand, his table image, your tilt, all mean nothing when you are all in. None of that can beat you at that point, only his cards. And considering hold em's high variance, it's very easy for a better hand to get cracked.
If I were at one of these final table's in a big event, my first strategy would be to let all the baby stacks die, ensuring me the most money possible, however once everyone got semi-equal in chips or I was the short stack I would have one move all in move. My cards vs. Phil Ivey's cards is a better bet than me vs. Ivey.
