Default Re: Time to Give Poker Superstars 2 Another Chance?

There were 2 horrendous plays in this match.

Runner-up: T. Brunson calls Dewey's allin when Dewey will have less than 100K (out of >3M) if Todd wins and Todd will be out if he loses. And rooting for 8-8 means Todd is either braindead or he thinks he has Dewey covered. But if he thinks he has Dewey covered, he is an absolute idiot since then calling gives approximately -100% EV, and regardless any halfway intelligent player should get a chip count before making this decision. However, this is not the stupidest play, because if he wins he puts Gray in a difficult position of needing to wait out Tomko, he may be able to throw chips to Dewey, and he needs to win, so he'll need chips sometime.

The worst play is:
Gray raises ~300K (enough to put Dewey allin) from the button, Brunson raises allin from small blind, Tomko calls from bb, and then Gray folds. Folding is unconscionable here.

As for whether or not it is poker, I won't argue either side of that, but the game they are playing is an interesting one.
