Moneymaker implosion?

WriterBoy · #1 07-10-2005, 06:43 PM

Donkeymaker busted out after pushing all in with 72h from the small blind.

Um, what?

Was he just trying to get on tv? If he bluffs with that, it would be good publicity, but come on dude.

He was clearly trying to steal it, you can't say it was a terrible move without seeing all the factors involved.

He was short-stacked and in the SB.

If he bluffs the cards are basically meaningless. Whether it is 96 or 72.. not much difference

Yeah we can only call it a bad move if an amateur does it. And if an amateur wins with 7-2 hes a bad player but if a pro does it,he had a good read and pot odds.

If you play SNGs, you obviously must not be very good. When you get shortstacked do you wait for a premium hand and if it never comes you get blinded out? Without seeing all the hand specifics, you can't really criticize the play. If I'm getting shortstacked and it's folded to me in the SB, I would take my chances with nearly any 2.

WHen has an amateur ever been criticized for trying to steal the blinds with a bluff?
