Default Re: allen C. rereraise on river with three AAA, can\'t be good

Not many hands fit the board. After the turn, only A6 makes a full house, and it (along with AA and 66) would usually be bet by this point. After the river, add AK, KK and K6 to the full house list. A raise potentially knocks out a flush, and maybe even a gets a sheriff call from a weaker A (don't remember AC's 2nd card to play) and even a 6 in some circumstances.

If RW is making a move (which he is capable of doing from ANY position), his raise potentially knocks out the best hand (PH) and induces a crying call from the bluffer (RW). And that is certainly a plausible situation. He probably doesn't put RW on a flush, as a flush would likely not do more than call after the river.

It's just one of those moves in which you're a genius if it works, and a donkey if it doesn't. If only these guys could see the hole-cam images...

It was a bluff attempt, trying to mover players off a flush I assume. It's a very weird and a very bad play. Worst play of the series by a known player.

WTF? As someone else asked in this thread, DO YOU PLAY OMAHA?! Didn't like 4-6 people see this flop? You say "Only" hands like AKxx, KKxx, K6xx are the type of hands you're worried about but in a limped multiway pot like this you should be EXTREMELY worried about them. Is there ANY chance RW is raising here, against this many opponents without aces full? I say there's approximately zero no of it. And no, you never get a sherrifs call from a worse Ace, a 6 or a flush in this spot. Ever. It's simply a very bad play with huge negative expectation.

Now if it went bet, call then a move might have some merit in this spot. Would still be a high risk move that would need a very solid read on the situation. But when it goes bet, raise in this spot against these two you turbo muck AQxx.

Cunningham clearly didn't want a call he was trying to get the flush out and probably thought williamson was doing the same thing or had a weaker boat and was trying to get hellmuth to pay the flush off to him. Do you call that with K6 or a flush? Cunningham didn't think he had a 6 and he had an ace. Only hand he could have then to make that play is AK or maybe KK. I'd have to think williamson is capable of making that raise without those exact cards.

It's not as bad as it looked. Calling with that hand like a I'm sure a lot of you would was 100x worse of a play.

True dat. There was a thread about this hand in the PLO forum when that episode first aired. However, the search feature and archives for the PLO forum are often broken for some reason.

I don't think he played well at all in the PLO event. In fact, based by TV I don't think he even understands the game well.
Hand 42 - Ivey has the button in seat 6, Williamson limps for $8,000, Cunningham limps, Ivey limps, Hellmuth limps, and Scharf checks. The flop comes Ad-6c-6s, and everyone checks. The turn card is the Kc, and they check again. The river card is the Ac, Hellmuth bets $9,000, Williamson raises to $44,000, Cunningham reraises to $84,000, and Williamson calls. Williamson shows A-K (aces full of kings), and Cunningham mucks. Williamson takes the pot.
Anyone remember this hand? Or this?
There is a dead button in seat 10, Sunar raises to $27,000, Cunningham reraises to put Sunar all in, and Sunar calls. Cunningham has Kc-8c-7h-2h, and Sunar has Ah-Ks-10s-5h. The flop comes Jd-10d-9d, but neither player has a single diamond. Cunningham flopped a jack-high straight, and Sunar will need to catch a queen or something runner-runner to stay alive. The turn card is the 7s, the river card is the Kd, and Surinder Sunar is eliminated in fifth place, earning $122,635.

I forget what he had on the first one, but I believe all he had was a set. He didn't look good playing PLO, that's for sure.

I don't think the "Have you PLAYED Omaha?!?!" crowd can properly distinguish between your standard Omaha Hi PL cash game and final table huge-blind Omaha. It's really somewhat of a hybrid of the Omaha and Hold'em cash games. You don't just play the nuts at final tables. Unless the deck is hitting you upside the head, you're a dead duck in big blind PL Omaha hi unless you loosen up and make some moves.
