Allen Cunningham's FT Performance

[HSB]

Compare a couple hands. The trip nine hand early where Cunningham lost about five million to Gold, and the hand Lee went out on.

It's pretty clear that Lee made up his mind that Gold had AK rather than putting him on a range and since he was ahead of the one hand he risked his stack--totally ignoring the fact that he was a huge dog to all the other hands in a reasonable range.

In the trip nine hand, look at the river bet. It's a bet that a worse hand can call, that a better hand is unlikely to raise, and that won't cripple him if a better hand calls.
