lol. you realize that david had to accept WHATEVER guy decided? he was the huge favourite in that hand, so he could do whatever he wanted to. "balls of steel"? lol once more. look at benyamine´s face once guy turns over his cards and you see a man who´s really puking at the mess his own degeneracy has caused him (again and again and again). i like david, he seems like a really nice person and a sick gambler obv, but i don´t get why he instantly accepted the offer - except when none of the money was his.

he had to think about all the consequences BEFORE shoving into a loose passive fish who had shown massive strength. he had to accept each and every outcome once all the money was on the line. otherwise he shouldn´t be called "professional poker player".

clearly what you say correlates perfectly with the fact that

1) david didn't try to convince guy to run it more than once
2) when guy asked david if he wanted to run it more than once after, david said that once is fine.

basically the point that you are trying to base your argument around is that david looks upset when guy turns over top two and that he took the massively +EV out that guy gave him. somehow i guess your argument is that if he was really rolled for this game he'd be running around the table giving people high fives because he has 35% equity in a 1.2mm pot and he would spit in guy's face when guy offers to chop even though it's a great deal for him.

wait, is this really the point you're trying to get across?

i just think he should´ve thought about the consequences BEFORE he shoved. he made a terrible play for money he obv. could´t afford to lose and took a bail-out he would NEVER offer to anyone in a lifetime. it´s just ridiculous to call yourself "pro" when you´re playing way above your head and have to accept donations to break even.

as for benyamine accepting the "one time" statement: not sure about that. ok, he said "ok" the first time but when guy insisted, he was close to giving a different answer imo, but sammy stopped him by saying "you sayed once, run it once" etc. (one more reason to hate farha). it would´ve been very embarassing to ask for running it twice after that.

as said, i like benyamine, but he looks really, really bad in this spot.
