Default Re: aba caught bluffing against bobby baldwin in 1.8mil pot

[ QUOTE ]
There was a thread maybe a week ago here where DB called with the nuts on the river - different cards but both were broadway straights. People were reasoning that Villain won't call a raise without a chop and DB gets to see his cards. Other people argued it's a freeroll raise, etc.

just quoting this so that no one will miss it.

abas blog post seems weird because he didnt describe the hand properly. its still pretty obvious from the turn action that bobby is first to act (i doubt the bluff would have gone this far if aba was out of position).

"The flop came QJT with two hearts. I fired pot of about 66K. He called and the turn came a 4 making a second flush draw in clubs. He checked again and I fired pot of about 200K. He called and the river came an off suit 9. I fired pot again for about 600K and he called with AKxx with two clubs."

this is the kind of hand where you put your opponent on a certain draw and play accordingly. it can be really self destructive when the opponent has a big hand and plays it well like bobby did.
