WPT: players that will never make final table again

jah0550 · #1 06-09-2005, 11:26 AM

After watching probably the worst display of poker last night, i began thinking. how in god's name did danny ngueyn(sp?) or the doctor make it to the final table? a) danny will never ever make it to another final table again and i will bet my car on that one! i mean the calls he made were just aweful. raising allin with nothing is fine, but calling with nothing is just plain dumb. he somehow luckboxed his way into first. b) the doctor is not as bad of a player as danny, but there were a few very suspect plays that make me wonder how in the f**k did this guy make it to the final table...ie when he folded q10s on the button when he had a healty stack. also, calling gus's all-in with aq when the board was 982 rainbow. that is just plain horrid. he of course luckboxed his way out of that one as well. if i ever seen either one of these players at a final table, i will probably just shoot myself. because a world that lets those two idiots make it to a final table is not one that i want to live in anymore...lol

ps. last night had some of the worst beats that i've ever seen. bad players win with bad beats...ie danny ngueyn

Those runner-runner sevens were amazing.

247-1...i probably would have torn the deck in half after that one. worst beat that i have seen outside of the internet.

I didn't think some of the doctor's folds were as bad as everybody here seems to think they were. He had maniac Danny right behind him itching to throw chips into the pot with little or nothing at any time. He also had enough chips to wait out some of the shorter stacked players and move up in the money. His call with A-high against Gus was atrocious, no question, but some of his preflop folds seemed more conservative than outright bad.

i think you are right as far as folding some hands when a maniac is behind you, but at some point you need to make a stand.

TheShootah · #6 06-09-2005, 11:57 AM

No, I agree with you too. Overall, I think he played ok, especially because the table was freakin nuts. He was playing the right way against that table. By only playing strong hands, he drifted into second with a good shot and beating the stiff he was facing. I mean, he got in his money quite well against him. His giant mistake of course, which he got lucky for, was calling a giant 800k with AQ high. That was abysmal.

how bout that damn kid swaying back and forth making stupid faces, and noises...he made me sick to my stomach

I think y'all are being a bit harsh on the Doc.... he obviously had never been in that situation before and I think he did very well considering the maniacal nature of the table. When Gus Hanson is a calming factor to the pace of play you know its pretty crazy.

As for the 800k call of Gus with AQ- well, what would you expect Gus to do to you in that situation? Try to blow you off your hand which is what the Doc probably thought so I can't fault him too much for that one.

The doc was pretty cool... a statue, but pretty cool.

Tim

I can. It was one of the worst calls I've ever seen.

That guy who kept making faces made me want to puke as well. I think that he has about hmmmmm 0 chance of ever making it to a final table again. He was a complete tellbox. How other pros didn't destroy this kid is beyond me...maybe he was just really lucky all tournament. That kid wouldn't even stand a chance at my own home game.
