Re: Hand from the ME of the World Poker Open
Weird. Seat 5...odd spot for a huge raise. Seat 6, I guess he figured there wouldn't be a lot of calls with a 5xBB raise so he didn't reraise. He also couldn't really reraise without pot committing, so maybe his call was just trying to disguise his hand's strength. Seat 7 and Seat 1...who knows. I guess they just liked the pot odds at that point. Same for you, calling with 74o.
Flop...lots of people with overcards who whiffed and/or people trapping with premium hands. Surprised nobody took a shot at betting here.
Turn...high card lands, original raiser bets. Then the first cold-caller goes all-in. Seat 7 and Seat 1 probably now aren't calling with anything short of TPTK, KK, AA, or a boat. When you go all-in, you're basically putting yourself on one of those hands. As far as seat 5 then calling the all-in, that's pretty ridiculous for a touring pro. I guess he thought he had some really strong reads on you guys.
Weird hand, allright. Hard to believe nobody took a shot on the flop after calling that big of a preflop raise. I'm sure you were looking to check-raise the flop, too.
