Default Played w/ Moneymaker last night. He made some weird moves...

Okay last night I played at the same table as Moneymaker for the first time. It's the first time I've ever seen him play online. Blinds are 3000-6000 and he's 2nd to bet. He raises to 20000, and a guy who has about 18k in chips calls him all in. They show the cards and Money800 has 79d. He lost the hand. A few hands later was the hand that everyone was complaining about. Moneymaker called blind from MP and a guy goes all in for 15k in chips. Goes around to Moneymaker and he thinks about it for 30 secs and calls w/ 56o. The other guy has A3 and Money catches a 6 for the win. The railbirds were going crazy for 5 minutes about how bad of a player he is. His take on it was that he figured it was a coinflip.

Those are pretty standard calls if Money has the chips.

In his best estimates he's not much worse than a 40% dog against any non-pair.

stack size information would be sweet.

in the first one, he's just being aggressive. nothing wrong with that unless it's for most of his chips. and even then it's still fine if he has a tight image.

in the second one, once he limps, the all-in is a must call. the limp is weird but if most stacks are deep enough then it's ok.

I just assumed it was called THE blind, but I could be wrong.

On the seccond hand he has like 2.5 to 1 pot odds and that is if no one else limped. So his odds were not bad. Also the pusher didnt even have 3bb...
