Did you really need to put this in red and italicise "just a year ago".

Perhaps it's fitting that he got busted by Antonius.

calling w/ dominated hands is not a successful long-term (or short-term) strategy.

[/ QUOTE ]

Neither is folding everytime an aggressive player raises at a short-handed table with huge blinds.

[/ QUOTE ]

we're not talking about just the QJ hand, sir.
like punker said, i like Gigabet as much as the next guy, but you can't tell me he isn't getting his money in badly A LOT.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, I agree. Sorry if my post came off as mean. I was just trying to say I think it's hard to criticize final table play in a situation like this without being there to understand the thought process (I'm def. not saying you're doing that, though. Just sayin'...)

[/ QUOTE ]

very fair point ... however, when you consider the size of the pot before the re-raise (about 600K) and the fact that he had to call another 900K more, it's not clear that calling with QJ was the right play in that situation.

you know Mike and Vince are going to have a field day with the commentary on Gigabet and these hands

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh they're gonna love him. I think they're going to have a hard time deciding which of his crazy all-ins make the cut. A ssuming it's two hours, I guess all of them could.

One thing I don't understand, sometimes the players say they can hear stuff Mike and VVP are saying. How does all that work?

I liked your first response better. :-) (I caught it before you changed it.)

Congrats Gigabet!

Doesn't matter. They aren't allowed to see the hole cards anyways as its against the law.

during live play, Mike and Vince provide commentary during WITHOUT the benefit of seeing hole cards. this is the commentary that can be overheard during play. after the tournament is over, they go back and dub-in additional commentary once they know what everyone is holding.
