It's been so long since the FT, I totally forgot about his ridiculous 10X BB preflop raises.

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/9 - ME Final Table)
 

lot more respect for yang after seeing that piece there...

very good person for poker to be seen as a good man away from the table as well

If you're going to call the raise preflop with queens and the flop comes 7-high, I don't think you should fold there. What flop are you looking for other than making three of a kind? Yang had already demonstrated to Childs that he was capable of slopping it around a little.

Only he can know what was going through his mind at the time. I've never played for that kind of money, but that seems like a "playing not to lose" move rather than a "playing to win" move.

Am I wrong?

No, you are right.

I'm guessing he called 3M to bluff the turn, but then chickened out.

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/9 - ME Final Table)
 

Eh, if they show Jerry's speech you will like him. It's hard to doubt that he is a good person.

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/9 - ME Final Table)
 

haha "best player i've ever played with in my life"

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/9 - ME Final Table)
 

if Jerry started with 9M, reraised to 2.5 million preflop with the jacks, wouldn't betting 3 million by Childs only leave Jerry with about 4.5 behind him??? How much did Jerry obtain before that hand?

He might be a donkey, but I'm starting to like him. He sounds like a good guy and very genuine.

Oh lord. This is putting me on monster tilt.

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/9 - ME Final Table)
 

The thing TV isn't telling you here is that Jerry was literally raising 80% of the hands...during the live broadcast we all thought he was on air here.

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/9 - ME Final Table)
 

This play is so bad by Hilm, if you're going to raise, do it on the flop...

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/9 - ME Final Table)
 

Holy crap wtf happened to Hilm?

They do such a poor job of painting the actual happenings. During the live broadcast, I thought there was no way Yang had a hand that could stand that much pressure on the turn.

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/9 - ME Final Table)
 

i got a kick out of rahme saying "bad laydown" after the qq hand. probably the only time he's ever said/thought that.

no doubt he's a great person... but honestly some of his plays are god awful... 10x the big blind to open a pot?you don't usually see stuff like that in 10$ tourneys...

I agree. He chose the wrong guy to mess with, because Yang obviously isn't afraid to make big calls.

novice players are less likely to fold a hand whereas a pro can find a fold, i agree too

Hilm's play is fine given table dynamics

[/ QUOTE ]

No. It's not. I like c/r the flop with Hilm's hand or check/calling and firing on any turn card. But not check/calling and check/shoving. Hilm's line is guaranteed to only get called by hands that have him beat. Furthermore, Yang has been a total calling station and probably couldn't let it go even if he thought he was behind.

[X]Philip Hilm = Retarded

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/9 - ME Final Table)
 

These "Hold em or Fold em" segments are stupid. Should you call with KsQs on a 10 high flop with no spades and no straight draw?

What a waste of time.

Re: WSOP on ESPN thread (10/9 - ME Final Table)
 

I'm still surprised that we've seen almost nothing of Lee Watkinson during this whole ME. The biggest name gets no coverage from ESPN...strange.

No. Yang was running over the table by winning pots without a showdown. He had not made any big calls at that point.
