Here's one hand in Sunday's WSOP NL $2000 shootout.
I was at table 13 seat 8. Level 1, 25/25. I had 1650. Villian had 2500. Villian's loose but lucky in the first few hands. 6-handed. Villian in CO raised 4BB (100), I was the SB and looked down KQs. I called 75. Others folded. Two players. Flop K72 (rainbow), I bet 200. Villian called. Turn Td, I checked and villian fired 450. I pushed all-in with 1300. Villian looked very sick after I pushed and I immediately narrow him down to JJ or QQ. He thought it for 2 minutes and said:"I didn't like the T..." 2.5 minutes... I decided to put pressure on him and called clock. When floor man was there, villian suddenly called and showed 99. The river was a 9. He said to me"if you didn't put clock on me, I'd flod, really! Because I thought you were bluffing me when you called clock, I put you on AQ." (is this true?) I'm not talking about being beaten by 1:23 odds here. I'm thinking is this the general reaction of being clocked? So, when you move all-in with best hand and hoping villian to call, would it be helpful to put clock on him so that he would think you were bluffing? |

A surprising number of people do think this. For that reason I usually don't call for a clock unless I want a call. I try to let someone else do it.
Then again, I've played relatively few live events. |

This isn't really a response, but I remember Sheikan calling clock on Matusow during the ME last year and getting insta-called. Wasn't an all-in situation, though.
I suppose it's a knee-jerk reaction; kinda like "How DARE you call clock on me!" |

I remember see a few different hands in the televised ME hands last year where the clock was called and they just let it run down till their hand was dead, I don't know exactly what they we're thinking abotu bluffs or not but it doesn't seem to provoke an insta call.

if it's a good shot, they probably start swelling above their eye. |

I haven't played a ton of live tourny's but I never call the clock while i'm in the hand for this reason... but I may start if I want a call...

Hes full of s^@t. He said that because he knows he made a bad call. Dont listen to players when they say stuff like this.

Calling with 99 on that board was a mistake. Saying that he would have correctly folded (instead of sucking out) afterwards is a bigger mistake. Buddy list the guy by stapling an "I'm a DONK" tag to his forehead and then releasing him back into the wild . . .

He's one of the two heads up. He's on seat 4, the other on seat 1. I checked the winner of this table was Van Marcus.
(I'm lucky the 2k buy-in was from previous night's 525 SNG satellite's winning. Anyway, if you can be in Vegas a few days early, it's a must to practice in the field and expect who you would be facing in ME.) |

This was played pretty well. I've been pretty disrespectful of your play in the past, but you really seem to be improving Walker.
