I would say this is far from a "standard" squeeze play

1. The inital raiser is EP and barring some maniac image you can't expect him to raise junk from EP.

2. There are MULTIPLE callers, not just 1. The more callers increases the chance someone could easily have a hand they can find a call with or be sandbagging a big hand.

[/ QUOTE ]I already said the squeeze is questionable. His play after that was fine.

It looks like a misguided squeeze play gone horribly right
he probably read about harrington doing something similar in a completely different situation at the 2004 ME FT, and figured it was a good time for him.

Looks to me like it was.

strasser called a 100k bluff with J9 on J94x4 board. thats why hes CL.

Clayton · #**164** 08-02-2006, 02:23 AM

With the final board showing J9434, Joe Furiman bet 100K, and Jason Strasser called. The players showed:

Jason Strasser J9
Joe Furiman A6

Strasser won the pot with two pair (jacks and nines), increasing his stack to 352K, giving him the chip lead. Recent chip leader Furiman dropped down to 240K.

Interesting comment by Nath about this guy:

your play is fine, UL he had a real hand. i've played with him before; when he has a stack he's completely insane.

Jon Lane is G6Dragon? Then I'm not surprised :O

Apparently they are one in the same.

I'm guessing his style of play is big or busto (usually busto)

UAT,

u have no idea :P

Man, his name sounds really familiar. He went pretty deep last year (88th); did ESPN cover him at all? This is going to bug me if I don't figure it out.

EDIT: I think he played this hand with Matusow: Matusow opens with AsJs, he calls with something like 5d3d. Flops comes JdXdX, he CR's and then calls Matusow's 3-bet. Turn comes a J, it goes check-check and then he bets blank river.

EDIT2: Oh god, I just realized that how bad it is that I can remember this. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

You would think that the quality of play at the WSOP would have improved with the rise of poker knowledge through poker books like Harrington's and internet sites like this one. But it just seems to me from reading reports from the WSOP that most of the field of the WSOP are donks (like 70%). Am I wrong?

Reading the post about the 5 4 it makes the WSOP seem like microlimit or a low sitngo at party poker or pokerstars.
