Re: Prahlad\'s pocket pairs
fwiw, i think prahlad played great poker from what i saw.
on this particular hand (77s v Gold), i think he should've taken a stab at that turn. i mean, i know he didn't want to get bet off the best hand, but if he was going to fold to a river bet, then i think he should've stabbed at the turn.
if gold called and check the river, then we get to a showdown cheaply. i basically think he saved himself a 250k turn bet by playing that a little weak/tight. but he could've won a nice pot (maybe).
and doug, fwiw, i liked that K6o hand. you probably could've bet 1/2 your stack on the turn and pushed any river. i know its higher variance but its > cEV. he might have called that bet. it depends on what you put him on obv. anyway, i probably would've pushed too... nh.
