Another interesting hand from the game\'s \"smartest player\"
I don't like to hate on people like this, but when Sklansky "annoits" you, you just can't make plays like this...
....Pusher was a tad on the aggressive side (for a Step 5), but nothing unreasonable - maybe top 1/8 hands or so here.... ***** Hand History for Game 2877657745 ***** 100/200 Tourney Texas Hold'em Game Table (NL) (Tournament 16590976) - Fri Oct 14 21:15:04 EDT 2005 Table Step 5 1068697 (Real Money) -- Seat 2 is the button Total number of players : 7 Seat 2: StraightPair (960) Seat 3: Herodotus (1945) Seat 5: wchen (910) Seat 7: dedragon_fly (1845) Seat 8: picilsinsope (1500) Seat 9: s87l91k (1060) Seat 10: MustSeeFlops (1780) Herodotus posts small blind (50) wchen posts big blind (100) ** Dealing down cards ** dedragon_fly folds. picilsinsope folds. s87l91k raises (1060) to 1060 s87l91k is all-In.

Creating Main Pot with $1870 with wchen Creating Side Pot 1 with $150 with s87l91k ** Dealing Flop ** : [ 8c, Js, Tc ] ** Dealing Turn ** : [ 4c ] ** Dealing River ** : [ 9c ] ** Summary ** Main Pot: 1870 | Side Pot 1: 150 Board: [ 8c Js Tc 4c 9c ] StraightPair balance 960, didn't bet (folded) Herodotus balance 1895, lost 50 (folded) wchen balance 0, lost 910 <font color="blue"> [ 2h 2d ] </font> [ a pair of twos -- Js,Tc,9c,2h,2d ] dedragon_fly balance 1845, didn't bet (folded) picilsinsope balance 1500, didn't bet (folded) s87l91k balance 2020, bet 1060, collected 2020, net +960 [ Th As ] [ a pair of tens -- As,Js,Th,Tc,9c ] MustSeeFlops balance 1780, didn't bet (folded) ...Anyone want to make an arguemnt that a call here is at least close?

Re: Another interesting hand from the game\'s \"smartest player\"
Anyone have the link to the "Ten Smartest Poker Players" thread? I guess Sklansky's arrogance in parts of that thread rubbed me the wrong way, and when his "#1 smartest poker player" makes plays like that, it makes me smile.

Re: Another interesting hand from the game\'s \"smartest player\"
why must there be some reasoning?
22 is barely a favorite to random cards...it's beaten by so many holdings it isn't funny he overvalued 22 or got impatient when he had 8bbs left and decided to gamble

My guess is it's a case of CEV analysis gone wrong (pot odds), or a misclick of sorts...but that AJo hand that ZJ posted a while back makes me think the former...
