a) wtf at Helmuth's table coaching. Just type "nh" and let the donkey enjoy himself.
b) wtf at Laak folding a monster draw on turn in position with enough behind for 2/3 pot bet.
c) wtf at the Matusow call with 44
d) the two Matusow shoves were either genius or madman. I cannot figure out which one.
e) wtf at Brandon not raising trips there at the obvious blocking bet.
[/ QUOTE ]
a) This is pure hellmuth, and this is why we hate/love him.
b) Laak is a big nit. I really don't know why he's playing when it looks like he's playing with scared money.
c) Like Mike said, either genius or donkey. I think the call is fine getting 3 to 1 when you're playing the 72 game, and Todd can be on diamonds.
d) the 99 shove was genius, because he played the hand perfectly (he bet small so that aggressive Todd would pick up on his weakness and Todd would raise his cbet, and then Mike would shove over Todd's raise. The 64 is wow tho.
e) *shrug* Brandon is terrible?
