Re: Allen Cunningham\'s FT Performance
[ QUOTE ]
For all the talk from almost every guest pro in the booth about what a fantastic player he is, he seemed to fall into the same mode as the other "worse" players there by getting pushed around by Gold. [/ QUOTE ] How do you play back at someone who calls all-ins (w/ a raise before it) w/ K,J ??? And of course the open-ended to the sucker str w/ no fl redraw.

Re: Allen Cunningham\'s FT Performance
Anyone who thinks that AC played a great FT and just was unlucky must have missed this hand:
114. Allen Cunningham raises to $750,000 from middle position and Michael Binger moves all in from the button for $3,010,000. Cunningham makes the call and shows QJ but Binger turns over AQ. The flop comes 862 and Cunningham loses one of his outs. The turn is the 5 and the river is the 7. Michael Binger has doubled up through Allen Cunningham for the third time.

[/ QUOTE ] with Binger's range, which could be ANYTHING (he called off half his deep stack earlier with A-9), there's nothing wrong with the call. If Binger has Pocket 5s and Allen wins his 47 or 48% shot, I think his chances of winning the entire thing improve 5-10%. Pointing to this hand saying Cunningham played bed is very weak. Even if Binger has something like A-9 earlier, I think Cunningham is getting the odds to call with those live cards. These donkeys were practically giving away chips to each other the entire tournament except when A.C. entered a pot.

Re: Allen Cunningham\'s FT Performance

Anyone who thinks that AC played a great FT and just was unlucky must have missed this hand [/ QUOTE ] Borderline call getting almost 2:1. Got unlucky that both cards weren't live. Not even close to being in the top-10 worst plays of the night though. AC seemed to play well, but everyone seemed more willing to play back at him than Gold (like the Wasicka KdQsd hand). Probably because of stack size, and the fact that good players are more likely to make big laydowns. Gold didn't seem to be folding anything (again, stack size was a big factor). Go re-read the Cardplayer hand log, AC picked up a ton of small pots but lost pretty much every allin and race (not to mention the lower trips hand against Gold). He gets a some better luck (or Lee doesn't donk off $16m chips to Gold) and who knows what happens.

[/ QUOTE ] He was getting the odds if Binger had a pair less than J or an AT type hand and he must have felt that these were well in the range. This is how Allen thinks and he has spent his career coming up with these scenarios and has a pretty good feel for it. I know because of firsthand knowledge. A few years ago at a $1k Legends event I was down to the final 12. I had around 24k and Allen was two to my left with 27k or so and we were both a bit above average. I had been playing pretty solid but aggressive poker. The blinds and antes amounted to around 5k and it's folded to me on the bottom with JJ and I push. He called me with A9 and hit his A on the turn. I asked him about the hand on these forums and he said that he put me on a range of any A, any pair or any broadway cards and he was a favorite to this range. My point is that he really has done a lot of analysis on these things and uses his reads of players to put them on a range and then make a call based on that range. We all talk about this AFTER the fact in these forums with our pokerstove analysis. Allen has already performed all of the analysis so he is able to execute on it during the hand.
