Doyles Fold Of QQ at the 50k Horse Final Table!

Sorry, but thinking like this is absolutely naive and the sign of a first level player*. If Chip had "tells" like that or Doyle could draw conclusions about Chip's play from the past, then Chip would be not the great player he is. You can be sure that every player with patterns like that or easy to spot tells will go broke in the big game faster than anywhere else.

Therefore the only argument that I would accept is that Doyle made a percentage play here and countered the game theory based strategy of his opponent with a randomizing counter strategy of his own like folding in a tough spot whenever his first hole card was a heart.

Yes yes, I am a horrible player, I am a "First Level Player" and have no clue what I am talking about.

Chip and Doyle couldn't possibly pick things up on each other after playing together for 20 years. How could that be possible? They are not humans, they are robots! They have zero tells and no one, especially not someone who has been watching this same player play for 20 years, could POSSIBLY get a feeling/notice something familiar or pick something up that told them their QQ was no good.

You are the naive one if you think that after playing together for that long that they can't possibly have an amazing feel for each other at the table. Without even adding all the time they have spent together, Doyle has insane instincts to begin with. Add that together with 20 years of watching someone and it adds up to the laydown we all saw.
