High Stakes Poker thread (11/5 - 500k buyin - Spoilers expected)

I think the funny thing about all these people jumping over themselves to defend Doyle's fold, is that Doyle himself would probably be reluctant to defend it.

Now I agree that Doyle's move is very understandable considering the deep stacks, it's not some horrible move of course, it's easy to understand. But certainly the amount of money influenced him; at 1/10th the stack and bet sizes he's not folding there, I hope we can all agree.

But Doyle himself probably doesn't like his own play there. And not just in terms of knowing the hands after-the-fact - from the expression on his face he was probably having big 2nd thoughts right after making it.

There are lot of of result-based "wrong" moves that Doyle would do over and over again in the same spot without questioning himself, but I don't think this was one of them. He'd probably like this one back.
