how horrible did i play this on a scale of 1 to 10?
[/ QUOTE ]
I give it a 9.5 (if 10 is the "worst" you could have played)
First of all, limping w/ A-9 off is just spewing chips. I guess I could see you raising these limpers if you haven't been too out of line, but why limp w/ this type of hand? Second of all, I hate your valuebet on the river. What do you think is calling you that you beat? A-high? a pair of 8's? AS played I would've been ecstatic that the old woman didn't put me to the test w/ a big river bet and gleefuly check behind.

Who wants to bet that Ivey, Negreanu and Hellmuth all limp here? I would say at least 2/3 (maybe all 3) do and ok they aren't terrible at poker. But zero chance in a billion years that Ivey or Negreanu fold there.
That doesn't mean I'd play it, but it's ridiculous to call it pure spew when many of the best players in the world would call without a second thought.

Hmmmm, Daniel is acting after two limpers - neither of which he has a read on. He's sitting on an "M" of 8.5 or so. You're probably right that he limps w/ A-9 off-suit hoping that neither of the blinds raises, and that he can simply "outplay" 4 other players post-flop w/ terrible hand. Probably a good spot to limp.
