An amateur might have a slowplayed AA, but he also might have flopped big too. At any rate, an amateur businessman moving in there is an overwhelming favorite to have KK beat, and almost never is he going to have complete air.

That's some tough amateur trying to trap Phil Ivey pre-flop if so. I think most amateurs re-raise big prior to the flop. I can understand it in a typical NL game, but this game is playing huge and trying to outplay Phil Ivey (or any of those guys) post-flop is just suicide for the amateur.

But I guess anything is possible.

Still a little floored as to how Phil didn't know who Brad Booth was. Did anyone say his name when he sat down? I mean does Ivey know of Brad Booth but just didn't know that was him?

LOL @ kaplan saying antonius was playing scared.

[/ QUOTE ]

He didn't say that, he said the 10 scared him in that hand. The flop was J86o, Patrick had J8. He bets and JD and BT call. The turn is the 10, PA checks and JD bets 15k, Bt goes out and Patrick just calls. A 5 comes on the river PA checks and JD checks. Gabe says PA could was aware of several hands that could bet him when the 10 hit and he didn't want to go off in one hand. He sure played the hand that way. If JD bet on the river, PA would have probably called anything reasonable. Certain cards in certain situations scare the best players.

Patrik played this hand perfectly, and its almost a guarantee that he was folding to any sizeable river bet there.

Wow, I'm really suprised to read that Ivey thought that Booth was a business man.

FWIW (which is probably very little), I'd never heard of or seen Brad Booth until HSP. He's certainly not a high profile tournament player. And apparently doesn't play the same cash games as Ivey.

[/ QUOTE ] Antonio was like YUKON!! Most people seemed to welcome him and call him by name.

Just like how everyone on LATB welcomes donkey businessman Ed to the game. No info about whether he's a pro or not can be inferred from that.

If he really is LFISGD on Full Tilt then he does.

As for Booth's notoriety, in the high stakes circle, he's known and that's really all that should have mattered in this setting.

As for the hand itself, I'm a bona-fide Ivey-ite. I was outside praying to my Ivey and Antonius porcelain gods pleading for him to call.

Would love to have seen Booth's face at that moment. Probably would have become my new avatar.

So I guess this means Ivey didn't even watch HSP2, since Booth made an appearance there.

[/ QUOTE ]
They hardly showed him playing, though, IIRC.

Any lipreaders know what Yukon Pottymouth was bleeped on? I couldn't figure it out, and his vocabulary seemed a bit broader than Hellmuth's or Matusow's.

[/ QUOTE ]

From watching the context, especially Antonio's remarks, I think he was swearing in Farsi.
