Newhizzle v. Joe Cassidy 500/1k HU match

[ucnoles]

I like the Jennifer Tilly comment. The second comment was stupid. Why do you think he could have got another C/R out of him? A lot of things out there could have still beat him. After the C/R on the turn, he def should have just bet out into him on the river. If he gets raised, then he loses 2 bets. If he gets called with a worse hand, he wins 1 bet. If he checks, mark will probably only bet a made hand with that board, and maybe reraise him if he had a hand like A9. Either way, bad play by Joe. However, people did the same thing to me when I was playing HU for long sessions. They pick 1 random hand out of the session and critize the play. You can't play the same each hand and you have to be able to judge your opponents betting patterns. I haven't watched enough of the match, but if Joe thought he really could get Mark to bet the river then pay off a raise with a worse hand, then it wasn't THAT bad of a move.
