Default Negraneau call\'s a value bet with King High?????

Please forgive me for not having the exact details of this hand. If someone else can give them that would be great. It was the WPT Episode from last night Borgata. Heads up action.

Preflop raise by daniel on the button. Call by williams

Flop J8x

Williams bets 1/2 pot (ish) with a pair of Jacks
Negraneau calls with K2 no pair no draw

Turn RagSpade

Willams fires
Negraneau calls with Flush draw

River: Red Jack

Williams fire 200k into a 900kish pot
Danny thinks thinks thinks and calls?!?! with King High

He did this earlier with Ace high stating that he wanted to see what David Had. I understood that because it was a much smaller amount and a fishier situation. Here I don't get it. A clear value bet and he calls anyway.

So enlighten me what am I missing?

Straight Flushes,

SAM

IIRC, Daniel was calling more for information than anything else.

From what was televised I thought Daniel played very erratically heads up, as though he'd lost focus. Then the deck hit him.

This is heads up. Obviously, he thought Williams was bluffing and high high was good. When you play aggressively, sometimes you get more action.

I can think of several reasons why you might want to call in such spots. First, you'd gain potentially useful information about your opponent's betting habits. Second, in heads up play Ace or King high might actually be the best hand -- especially considering that David may well be bluffing. Third, if you do call with hands like Ace or King high, you might deter your opponent from bluffing in future hands (since you've established a willingness to look him up with relatively weak holdings). Fourth, you may have picked up a possible tell on your opponent, and you'd need to see his or her hole cards to verify it.

Also, one thing to keep in mind is that (especially) in heads up play, you have to look at the hands context. If you study a single hand in isolation, the play may make little sense -- but it might be appropriate given all the hands that have been played and, perhaps, how you might be setting your opponents up in future hands. Even though the play on a single hand in isolation may be 'sub-optimal' it may lead to better overall results for the entire session.

Also, you're only seeing a small fraction of the hands anyway, which makes it all the more difficult to figure out what the players might have been thinking.

What about the slowroll at the end? I like Daniel, but I thought that was uncool. "What? What did you say? You're all in? Ummmmm, (stands up), ummmmm, I call."

Yeah, and Williams called him on it. Awkward.
