His style only works when eventually you get a hand better than bottom pair and you get paid off huge. :\

I think he's playing well and I'm sure they're only showing hands where he gets called.

[/ QUOTE ]I don't really like Dario (or playing against him), but I do like to watch him play. Who didn't see that woman was going to CS off her stack after calling down with K9? I like how espn "told the story" of his play and made it look like the way to beat him is check calling every street.

I think by the time he had gotten his stack, word out on Dario was that he was a bluffing maniac. Calling down with K9 on a QQ9xx board is utterly standard. Why on earth would he bluff with 3rd pair there? Did he really think he could fold out a 9?

[/ QUOTE ]Standard, really? I don't think it was THAT bad, but I'd certainly call it weak. Do these people not know where the raise button is? Is calling off your stack with OMG an overpair on a 3457 board also standard?

I think I like Scotty more and more everytime I see him.

If Blair had been bluffing and Dario had snap-called there people would be saying how he pwned her...or if she folds there people would say how he pwned her. I think the fact that Dario sort of represents the young internet player and Blair represents some 40-ish female means that a lot of the opinions here are going to be skewed.

I don't think you'd have to sit at the table for long to know what he's (usually) up to and during these big tourneys you might be at the same table for hours and hours. She probably knew that she might be crushed but she also knew that she couldn't just let Dario continue to take pot after pot and in that spot she felt she had to call.

I'm sure he's very good, and very possibly better than Blair (don't know)...but give the woman some credit.

After all, she is the women's champion of Arizona.

Sorry, but stacking off with TT on a FLUSH and STRAIGHT board is donktastic to the extreme. She was probably frustrated, but anyone with sense folds there.

Tell me something, is it because she is a woman that you think she's a calling station?

Of course you couldn't give her credit for perhaps having Harry Potter's number after (her) sitting there for how long watching him play (and knowing it was HP who was donking off his chips tyring to bluff her and she knew it!)?
