Re: Hilm\'s preflop calls
[ QUOTE ]
I was watching the WSOP ME on ESPN with hole cards. Yang raises 10xBB with 88 and Hilm calls with KQo. Flop comes AT8, Yang cbets, Hilm calls with the gutshot and a float, probably putting Yang on a pp. Yang pushes the turn for more than pot and Hilm folds.
Another hand, Yang raises 4xBB with AKo and Hilm calls in the SB with 85s. They get allin with TPTK versus pair and flush draw, and Yang busts Hilm.
I think Hilm played both hands OK postflop, but I question the preflop calls. Just because someone is playing LAG doesn't mean you should make loose calls of big preflop raises. I suppose Hilm thought he could outplay Yang, but I would look for better spots.

What was Yang's pf "big raise" tendencies? TV implied that he was doing that a lot which might have effected everyone else to stand up to him. I dunno, but it seems like Yang might have taken a page out of Gold's Big Stack book once he got there . . .
