Gus and Danny's set over set

[mike l.]

pretty sure this proves the show has certain hands that are fixed for TV. as ive said before on here a friend of mine heard directly from bobby hoff, who was asked to be on the show, that that was the case.

This was brought up in another thread...but Daniel played his hand like he had an overpair...which if Gus put him on that overpair, he could be making that check raise move on the river with a straight...that is ONE of the reasons Daniel called.

This was one of those what do I think, he thinks I have, kind of hands.

no WAY daniel bets an overpair there much less calls an all in check raise with it.

First of all, we all know that DN is somewhat of a calling station. Furthermore there is no doubt that Gus is capable of bluff-raising the river and that he will do that at a certain percentage. Last but not least DN was aware that he was about to run into a somewhat insane bad beat and was prepared to pay off the 1-outer. There is certainly a cutoff to everything, but with that much money in the pot, not paying off a 1-outer on the end would probably have required a re-raise of something like 5 million on Gus' part, probably even more.

That hand was a cold deck all the way and well played from both sides. I give Gus huge credit for checking the river.

Your previous thread

I don't think it proves anything. I don't even think it's evidence.

Why is Bobby Hoff supposed to be a credible source about this? Why should we believe him?

"Why is Bobby Hoff supposed to be a credible source about this?"

he's some sort of NL godfather and a lot of people give him a lot of props. that's all.

the more i think about it, between this hand and the AA vs. KK hand barry and sammy have at the end of last season, there are rigged hands to create drama/interest.

especially the AA/KK hand: it's almost like the producers realised after two days nothing particularly exciting had happened (at least exciting in the eyes of people who dont play poker all the time) and they came out and said look guys we want to set up a dramatic hand between two of you who wants to do it and everyone laughed and sammy and barry said "ok sure we'll do it"...

sorry hands like this dont just come up this often in your average 20-30 hours of play or however long it is they play.

I'm waiting for someone to blame Party Poker also.

God, I hate these posts.
