Hey guys, did I play this hand right?

I'm tired of them showing "hands in progress" when they get back from the break and some poor schmoe who probably organized a party to watch his appearance on tv is eliminated

This is what I read about the "Fold-em" hand between Duke and Kaplan. On ESPN it shows the flop (small pair and a king). Duke checks with pocket jacks and Kaplan bets, Hold-em or fold-em? Ferguson says fold-em and Duke does. Kaplan has AK.

Here's how the hand really came down. Duke raises pre flop from middle position and gets a call from the guy on her left. Kaplan on the button re-raises. The small and big blind fold, and then Duke re-raises. The guy folds and Kaplan re-raises again. Duke calls. Four raises before the flop. On the flop she checks, he bets and she folds. If this is indeed how it happened? Then they didn't leave out tooo much, did they?

By the way, I would have called on the flop; if I don’t spike a jack and he bets on the turn then I fold.

I like Chris in the refrigerator, but I'm easily amused.

Hold em or fold em is a pretty basic exercise in board reading and knowing what most opponents would do so not that interesting. Still, it's cool to be quizzed a bit and see how you do in a commercial. Usually, they're just trying to sell me some crap I don't want with some lame jingle and by aspiring to concerns I don't have.

I'm also amused by the guy finding some paper thin excuse to go to the fridge.

As for internet whining, why would they care? They respond to ratings or the letters of enraged lunatics they perceive as having some power (the I'm so offended people...).

I wish, just to make a final table at the wsop would be a poker dream.
