Yes i have played 10k buy in tournament against these guys. My foundation is seeing him call off all his chips with k8 off to win the title when that other kid had AJ. There is noway any top player would make that call. His reason was he was tired i think he said. There are many more examples. Look at hands howard discusses in op's link. What about getting it in with 55's against the AA's of jc tran. I'm not sure of blinds and how much tran bet so it might not be horrible but i suspect it was a bad play as tran was probably committed and best alan could hope for was a race.(turned out he flopped 1 out turned 2 outs and sucked out on river. i guess he deserved that championship right?) Top players look for better spots imo. How about calling off 800k with Aq off out of position twice(first time might not have been 800k but somewhat relative situations agaisnt the same person. There are many other over the years that i could mention that i dont remember but they were big mistakes. Phil Hellmuth has discussed many of his mistakes as have many others including Doyle i think(but dont quote me on doyle).
