Re: The big Fossilman hand of yesterday
The flop play isn't really debatable IMO since we don't know his reasoning for calling. What we do know is that he should have folded the flop if he wants to play the turn this way. His turn bet-call with a 4-flush is nothing short of terrible IMO.
If he called the flop with the intention of pushing any [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] on 4th street, you really can't fault the guy for his play. If he is going to bet 600k on the turn, he has to do so with the intention of folding to an all-in and there really isn't any way around that. If he wants to call the all-in getting 3:1 odds or whatever, he is making a bad call since it is 4:1 to hit the flush. If it turns out that he is getting 5:1 to call all-in (or if he knew that the 600k turn bet would tie him to the pot), he should have recognized the situation before hand and pushed straight away since you get that much more folding equity by betting all-in then 600k (I have no idea what kind of odds he got on his call, but either way it is bad poker).
