Default Re: Hand from the ME of the World Poker Open

Seat 6 has a problem preflop. Flat calling for 1/6 of his stack looks a little suspicious, but making a small reraise looks more like AA. If he pushes or reraises half his stack after the 5xBB early position raise, he will probably just win the pot.

I don't know how the table was playing. If preflop raises were taking the pot and/or preflop raisers were taking the pot with continuation bets, then the early position 5xBB raise with QTo may be OK. The table looks looser from this hand.

Seat 5 obviously interpretted no flop bets as meaning no one had anything rather than two players were slow playing. He probably figures he has pot odds, there is some chance he is ahead, and he has some chance of winning against an overpair or higher kicker. There is a flush draw out and someone probably has atleast a gutshot. Seat 6 could have a lot of different types of hands. However, Gigabet almost certainly has a fairly strong made hand. Seat 6 may have been influenced by Gigabet's reputation. However, he cannot be bluffing here.

Preflop, seat 7 and the button are probably calling partly because of position in a multiway pot.
