Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (9/18 - Day 4)
If Blair had been bluffing and Dario had snap-called there people would be saying how he pwned her...or if she folds there people would say how he pwned her. I think the fact that Dario sort of represents the young internet player and Blair represents some 40-ish female means that a lot of the opinions here are going to be skewed.
I don't think you'd have to sit at the table for long to know what he's (usually) up to and during these big tourneys you might be at the same table for hours and hours. She probably knew that she might be crushed but she also knew that she couldn't just let Dario continue to take pot after pot and in that spot she felt she had to call.
I'm sure he's very good, and very possibly better than Blair (don't know)...but give the woman some credit.
