Default Re: hsp tonight 4/9

I'm going to add Antonius and Booth to my list of HSP favorites. They both showed gamble and Antonius especially showed that he has a built in bullsh&t detector.

I'm liking Esfandiari more and more. He is another player with gamble and has great reads. he's also funny and entertaining - 2 things that HSP needs and that counterbalances Antonius and Booth's stoic personalities.

I'm thinking an interesting HSP table would be:

Antonius
Booth
Esfandiari
Doyle
Barry
Ted Forrest
and of course Mike the Mouth so that we could watch the other stick it in and out of him all season.

what exactly was the action in this benyamine/antonio hand??

[/ QUOTE ]

Benyamine pops it pf, bets flop, which Antonio floats. On the turn I forget the pot size, but Benyamine bets 18k, Antonio pops to 42k, Benyamine repops to 72k, then Antonio raises 40k more. Benyamine calls, river goes check check.

[/ QUOTE ]

Am I the only one who thought Benyamine reeked of strength there? I'm a little surprised Antonio didn't muck when Benyamine led out on the turn. He's been playing so good too, it's a shame to see him misplay that hand there and lose a huge pot.

On another note, I was hoping someone could explain High Stakes math to me. Late in the episode, Antonius (6/3 clubs)and Ivey (Ace/7) tango in a hand. The flop is 9-7-2 w/ 2 spades. The turn is an Ace, giving Ivey aces up. Isn't Antonius drawing dead here? I'm watching the episode again now (I DVRed it) and they say Antonius is 18% to win. I don't get the math. All in all, a decent season from HSP, I can't wait for the next one!

BTW if there ever was a river card to follow up by putting Benyamine all in, that was it, wasn't it?

[/ QUOTE ]

not after his turn play. had he just called benyamine's 3-bet, then possibly yes. in fact he must have hated that card because it would make a valueshove less likely with a lot of hands. antonio was threatening benyamines entire remaining 120k or whatever with his 40k re-raise. benyamine almost blew it with his table manner and antonio couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger. it was sick because he could'nt think benyamine would ever bet-3bet there with J9 bottom two, much less J2. he was likely afraid benyamine would give wtf call w/ AJ, but benyamine basically signalled that he wouldn't and didn't hold that hand.

had antonio just called he would have undoubtedly moved it in on the river after a benyamine check.

In the big hand, why was Antonio's last raise so small? Was there any logic behind it? I'm solidly a low stakes player, so obviously my experience may not apply, but small 3+bets on the turn always reeked of BS to me, and ultimately represented weakness. It seemed like he was trying to bluff without putting a lot of his money in, and wound up burning more of it, but I'd be interested to hear from high-limit pros about it.

This might save some posts:

http://www.pokertube.com/SearchMovie...es%20poker%20s

Once the vids at the top of that page say S03E13, then they are ready. It's usually around 1am (central time) - 2.5 hours from now.

If you need a youtube link instead, same thing:

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_ty...arch_category=0

Once the first results mention season 3 ep 13, then it's there.
