Do you have any idea who Prahlad is? If you did you would realize how stupid this comment.

i had a tight image, and was raising EP, not MP. i was raising to steal the blinds, at that point, and happened to catch a good flop i could also bet out to take down.

I don't know what the chip situation was exactly, but why did you push the turn? Do you regret that at all?

[/ QUOTE ]I wondered this as well. I think either a check or a smaller bet would've been better, although obviously we saw the cards. Were you afraid of a flush draw or set(FH draw)?

i had around 2/3 pot, so i thought it was a fine time to bet. given that board, i thought the likelihood of a check behind was too great for me to get tricky.

fwiw, i think prahlad played great poker from what i saw.

on this particular hand (77s v Gold), i think he should've taken a stab at that turn. i mean, i know he didn't want to get bet off the best hand, but if he was going to fold to a river bet, then i think he should've stabbed at the turn.

if gold called and check the river, then we get to a showdown cheaply. i basically think he saved himself a 250k turn bet by playing that a little weak/tight. but he could've won a nice pot (maybe).

and doug, fwiw, i liked that K6o hand. you probably could've bet 1/2 your stack on the turn and pushed any river. i know its higher variance but its > cEV. he might have called that bet. it depends on what you put him on obv. anyway, i probably would've pushed too... nh.

[/ QUOTE ]ah, I didn't know this at all. No problem with your play then imo. Really wish ESPN would let us know more of the details.
