I guess the Unabomber didn't read Caro's Book of Tells.

Remember, weak means strong.

hehe =)

Am I right in assuming that Gigabet is playing for 1st and 1st only?

This was a resteal. He probably had a read that Antonius didn't have a strong hand. If Antonius folds, he picks up a 400K pot and maybe K3o won't be in too bad shape if heis called.

Notice Antonius made a small raise to 2.5xBB. The Unabomber undoubtably interpreted that as a weak attempt to steal the blinds.

Yes, however all the other people aren't playing for first. They prefer 2nds and 3rds.

I have decided that I am going to make a smart ass remark to as many posts in this thread as possible.

Man Phil Laak is gonna be thinking about that dumb move for a LONG time. Difference between first and 6th is 1.9 million. Jebus! Got through 484 and only needed 5 more people to go through and ya screw it up.

2.5x BB is usually close to standard as blinds get higher and higher ... do we know what the standard raise was at the time?

Joanne 'J.J.' Liu raised to 250k from the button, Doyle Brunson re-raised to 1.0m, and Liu pushed in. Doyle folded and Liu took the pot increasing her stack.

Brunson was geting better than 2-1 to call. Interesting to see what junk he was restealing with, probably worse than Laak's K3o. I guess this is Brunson's survival strategy.

Great read then, Phil.

Darrell "Gigabet" Dicken Doubles Through Rehne Pedersen
Log: <b>Hand #51</b> - Darrell Dicken has the button in seat 1, Dicken moves all in for $1,040,000, and Pedersen calls from the big blind with Ah-Qd. Dicken shows Jh-10s, and he'll need to improve to stay alive.

The flop comes 10h-4h-2h, and Dicken makes a pair of tens against Pedersen's ace-high flush draw. The turn card is the Kd, and now Pedersen can win the hand with a jack (for a straight), a queen, an ace, or any heart. But the river card is the 6c, and Darrell Dicken doubles up to over $2 million in chips.

After the hand, Pedersen is down to about $1,000,000 in chips.

I understand Gigabet's move, since really, Pederson will only call with a Premium hand. But man, he almost got killed on this one. Hopefully, this will induce more calls when Gigabet has a premium holding.
