Did I just see that? Mike Baxtor had a brain fart. WTF was that AI with KQo?
And Eli calling there? he and Sammy must be playing the same money.
West Coast viewer. LOL.

The only way the play makes sense to me is that Baxter thought he had 10 outs, and thus had the odds to call. He actually did have 10 outs against Sammy. His blunder was that he forgot about the pre-flop raiser who had yet to act behind him (or maybe he thought Eli would not overcall without a monster). In any case, he was marginally correct to call if all parts fell into place, but idiotically wrong if they didn't.

He only has 10 outs if you assume a single K or Q makes his hand. Even against Sammy that's a poor assumption.

You're right. Baxter could have been ahead.

He must have thought he was for him to make that AI move there. Like I said: Weird.

I recently did an interview with Mike in which I asked him about the KQo bust-out hand. He actually thought Sammy might be on an open-ended draw and it was only 70k or so for him to call in a 120k pot. The show makes it look like he came over the top for even more, but he really didn't. Of course, with Eli behind with AA and given Sammy's made hand, the play looks horrible (def not something I'd do with 70 large), but when Jamie folded out of turn, he figured whatever...Sammy'd been making plays the whole session. If you're interested, you can read the interview
