Re: WPT Bellagio Five Diamond - Day Four (Official 5 Diamond Thread!)
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] yet another play i'm not capable of making ... who else could call all-in with 73o pre-flop? [/ QUOTE ] Pot odds, guys. Plus, he was the shortest stack in the tournament. The initial raise was certainly debatable, but the call once Patrik put him all in is pretty automatic (assuming the 188K is total, not a 188K reraise). And even if it was a 188K reraise, Giga's still getting 2:1. [/ QUOTE ] "pot odds" ... yes, i know. however, my initial read was that Gigabet called an incremental 188K but i can see how i could be mistaken. [/ QUOTE ] They're playing 10-20-3. Playing nine-handed (18 remaining) means there's 57 in the pot. Giga appears to raise 50 more; that plus Antonius's 70 call totals 177. So Darrell is getting just a shade under 2:1 for the call, assuming he calls an incremental 188 (which is how I read it as well). Against a random hand, that's about an even-money call. I suspect Giga's view is that if he mucks, his stack will have absolutely zero FE; thus, even though a call is probably -EV (Antonio's range is tighter than any two, because he knows Dicken must call) mucking is even more -EV. And what is it with this "Duke Sucks" disease? Fark appears to be infections, especially to the Blue Devils among us.

[/ QUOTE ] we all know who won that game. that's not the issue. the issue is the unbelievably poor sportsmanship displayed by Laettner and the tacit support for that behavior given by Coach K and all Duke fans.
