Re: WSOP Day 6 Main Event Thread
Why does every pot have to be so big? Is it not possible to play smaller pot poker at this point?
I'm sure I'm wrong, but it just seems like there are massive overbets in many of the pots when people have plenty of chips. Can someone explain this to me? Does it have to be this way?

Man that's a huge amount to call with just an overpair. Looks like he slowplayed himself into oblivion. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Erik Friberg Cracks Aces; Doubles Up On a board of Q954 Eric Lynch bets $150,000 into the $400,000 pot. Erik Friberg re-raises $2.6 million to put himself all-in. Lynch calls and shows AA, but Frieberg shows 45 for two pair. The river is a 5 giving Friberg a full house and the pot. Lynch is down to $880,000 and Friberg doubles up to $6,400,000. [/ QUOTE ] Hmmmmm.... Interesting call there with just 1 pair for such a gross overbet. I'm sure Rizen will say whether or not he had a read or at least add some insight to the call. [/ QUOTE ] Well it looks like an induced raise given the size of the turn lead. A risky play when a bigger lead allows him to fold to the push. [/ QUOTE ] Whatever the hell it is, why call such an overbet with only one pair? If he folds, he is still strong. If he loses, he is crippled. At best the villain has some sort of very strong draw (like pair + fd+gutshot) and is drawing very live or you are is in a very bad shape and need to suck out. I just don't get it. That was like X5 times the pot overbet. WTF?

Gold is building a very dominating position and picking up large amounts of chips at will it seems! Now nearly 15,000,000 [/ QUOTE ] Ugh, the only thing worse than a FT of nobodies would be a FT of all nobodies with 1 huge stack pushing around everyone.

Don't want to critize to much without knowing how the hand went down exactly but it's always a little ridiculous to see someone lose a huge pot because of slowplayed AA. I realize there were some draws but I still don't like the call of what looks like a ridiculous overbet.

Re: WSOP Day 6 Main Event Thread
FWIW when Friberg was at the FT in a televised swedish tournament he was very very agressive and bluffed alot.
