Re: ESPN WSOP PLO coverage
I think Cunningham was just running a squeeze play to try to re-steal. He's not dumb enough to raise for value in that spot, and I'm not about to question his reads. He made a bad one, it happens.

Re: ESPN WSOP PLO coverage
I enjoyed the coverage of this tourney a lot more than the coverage of the $2k + rebuys event. It's a shame they didn't film the $10k final table as well. ESPN should be kicking themselves too since the heads-up F-bomb drama would have made good tv.

I sat there and watched a game that was very different than the PLO that I play. [/ QUOTE ] I thought Phil Ivey's game was quite similar to the way I play. I especialy liked the hand where he called the pot raise with QJxxds and bet out on the Jxx board. He correctly read the raise as AAxx, tried to make the aces hand lay down by representing JJxx, but then absolutely had the correct odds to call the all-in with his 11-outer. Phil Ivey rocks at PLO. Another play I thought was great was Williamson making Ivey lay down his 2-pair aces/sixes by representing the nut straight on the turn with 99xx. vs. Ax76 board. He knows Ivey is a tight Omaha player, and even if he got called, he still had 4-outs. (sorry, I can't remember the xx cards right now.)

The post-hand banter was classic. Williamson: I had king high spades with it, with the straight draw. Ivey: With a straight draw? Williamson: I had a straight already... flr... str... straight originally. Ivey: [nods, rolls eyes] nh

The question was: is there any chance Cunningham's bluff will work? The answer is no. THus: terrible play, as everyone said.
