I think people are forgetting about MURPH DOG re-raising Greg all in last year with like a 5 high flush draw and straight draw on the turn.

IIRC, people seemed to think that was a brilliant play. Greg could have had KK in that hand too.

but he didnt? you seem really big on making up situations that didnt actually happen to make your point. as ive said like 15 times. johns play was good because his read was correct. kantors play was bad because his read was incorrect. get it now? nothing like being completely results oriented...

Could you know any less about the game? You are so lost. So now it's just about making the wrong read rather than being a total donk trying to give your money away? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Another one for ignore....

no, i couldnt possibly know any less about poker, fantastic point. you did a terrific job at convincing me you must be a troll...haha, youre right, john murphy is a total donk trying to "give his money away" by making a well timed bluff at a player he percieved to be weak and winning... point taken. putting me on ignore just means you wont have to make such horrendous generalizations and flat out incorrect statements in response to my posts anymore, what a shame...

Holy christ. I thought Murph Dog's re-raise all in was [censored] amazing! It was one of the best plays the entire 2004 ME. C'mon, man. Get your head in the game.

i didnt say it was amazing, you just mocked it and i said it wasnt mockable, because IT WAS A SOLID READ AND HE WAS CORRECT. you really really seem to have a problem understanding that the way these players process the information is the most important thing. simplifying a hand like that to make murphy look stupid makes you look like you have absouletely no idea what youre talking about. murphys read took the way greg had been playing for the last 3 days (youve never played with greg) took account the blinds, the amount of money in the pot and possible draws as well. instead you seemed to avoid thinking about all these factors and just post generalizations to make your points look the least big legitimate. john, on the other hand thought about those things and made a decision that turned out to be correct.

on the other hand there is you. you simply say "hes an idiot for raising with a flush draw and 5 high". this really shows us how little you knew about the hand, the situation and the decision john made. he and i both went to school in santa barbara our freshman year and had lots of mutual friends. i had one of these friends ask him about what was going through johns mind when he made that 3rd raise. john actually thought that raymer thought john was weak (which he was) so john decided raymer couldnt be too strong if he made an overraise into a player he percieved to be weak, so john raised him back to make greg think his read was incorrect. john was correct in doing this and got greg to lay his hand down. this makes me think that the raise WAS amazing. john thought it through very well and made a great play at a great time. but i guess since greg COULD have had pocket kings in this situation(although john thought he didnt and he actually didnt! what a suprise!) so yeah, johns play was really stupid because you need it to be to make yourself not look stupid, good situation to get yourself into.

Wow. He still doesn't get it. Even after it was explained to him. I LIKED MURPH DOG'S PLAY. I AM NOT MOCKING MURPH DOG'S PLAY. I AGREE THAT IT WAS A GOOD PLAY AND A GOOD READ. KEEP RE-READING THIS UNTIL IT SINKS THROUGH YOUR FAT [censored] HEAD.

How you could reply with that nonesense after I JUST SAID it was one of the best plays of 2004 is ab-so-[censored]-lutely b-a-n-a-n-a-s! I mean, WOW!

i would reply, but youre obviously too worked up to think straight. i thought you were being sarcastic, which is why i replied. i guess think you would be a reasonable human being was another misstep, bummer.
