As a middle-aged (compared to this forum's average age) husband and a father of ALMSOT two (month and a half to two) I fully support Eric / Rizen

GOOOOOOOOOOOO Rizen.

From p5's live:

After losing a 6.5 million dollar pot Eric had this to say:

"I made a bad call. He check called the flop and then check raised the turn. I raised UTG and continued with it post flop, what could he put me on there other than AA, and he wouldn't play it that way unless he could beat Aces. I almost mucked it face up, but I talked myself into it. It was 2.6 million more and I could have left myself with 3.8 million and been in fine shape. Instead I'm down to 800k and it's back to short stack ninja mode."

[/ QUOTE ]

I have been listening to his podcasts and following the action and that call just seemed so out of character. The pot was about $600k and the guy puts in another 2.5million. The only hand Eric could beat was the flush draw, or another over pair but would the guy really risk so much on those type of hands? A two pair type hand that was vulnerable seemed so likely. A set also seemed like a strong candidate. I didn't see a call being even remotely correct unless he had some really good tell or past history with the guy and even then... Curious to hear more about the hand.
