Re: Hand from the ME of the World Poker Open
[ QUOTE ]
If seat 5 played that hand so bad, it might be safe to assume he's a bad player and seat 6 might know that. I don't think seat 6 play was that bad, if he thought he could get seat 5 HU in position. I guess he thought the table was tighter than it is.

Seat 6's flat call was OK. He just got a bad result. He was hoping someone would reraise. Otherwise, it is not bad if no one else calls or one additional player calls. He may have had a read on Seat 5 that Seat 5 had a weak hand and would not call a reraise, but would commit it he made some kind of pair or draw. With the table playing as loose as it appears, he may have thought there was a good chance for a reraise. I think seat 6 played this fine.
This looks like a $20 online MTT with a 5xBB raise and 4 callers. I wonder what everyone else was calling with.
I won't question Gigabet's call, as it is his style. I wonder how often you make trips or something or can steal from 4 players OOP. I might call with 76s.
Seat 5 is described as a "tour player" rather than a tour pro. Maybe he won some 6 figure prize online or live and thinks he is a tour pro. Or maybe he is wealthy and can afford to play in these tournaments.
