Sick calls of legends are those like Stuey made with 9-high. When you call with 9-high because you really think you're good, then you're the boss.

Yeah, and how many great laydowns was Stu known for making?

Very good point. And that kinda gets back at the danger of applauding a great bluff. Great bluffs are the ones that work. Ones that fail often just look like donk blowups.

Still, that 9-high call.. wow. heh.

People are definitely too results-oriented in analyzing how good or bad a bluff is.

I missed this, you mean he took some of the money from the table and tossed it in the audience? I thought those were just grifter rolls.

Speaking of that, am I the only one not as impressed with Wasicka's "sick" bluff? I mean it's a good bluff, but it would have been amazing to me if it got Allen to fold an Ace. The board was AAJ9 with three hearts, and Allen just had TT with the Th. There isn't a whole lot Allen can beat there BUT a bluff.

I'm not a Moneymaker fan, nor do I think his was the "bluff of the century," but at least that one got Sammy to lay down top pair on a rainbow board. Allen had to fear a flush, an ace, and a jack.

I applaud Wasicka's read that Allen was weak, but those are what every good pro bluff is about. The only thing exceptional about this was were the stakes. As a poker play, I think it's not amazing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, I didn't think Moneymaker's bluff was too great either. Yeah, forced Sammy off of his hand. So, I guess it worked. But still...you could feel how scared he was.

And this one wasn't great as well. His voice was very low and it sounded like it crackled when he said all in. Sounds nervous to me. Don't know if I could call it with Allen's hand, but I'd still have a suspicion he was bluffing or at minimum semi-bluffing.

8). Jen Harman saying she was sick for allen after he got knocked out. I love it how all the best players care so much for each other.

The exact same thing happened on the CP broadcast last year when Matusow got knocked out.
