His average stack with the straddles was like 40-80BBs deep - im not sure if your aware, but calling a raise with 93 or whatever trash he was getting dealt would be pretty bad.

He played for 2 hours, and in total probably got 70 hands, tops - probably 50 or less. In that time he happened to get two playable hands and played them pretty solid (though its easy to criticise the QQ hand when you can see the hole cards).

Its a shame Phil didnt get to play the 500k game because it would have been really good TV to see him shove 36 on a TT2 flop against Hellmuth and show it tilting him to [censored] and other crazy LAG stuff like that - but on the 100k day he was just too short and the game just too loose to do anything but TAG it up.

There is no way in this life or the next that jman would ever shove 500k on the flop with 36 on a TT2 board. You clearly have not read jman's posts, articles, or watched his cardrunners video. This is not Brad Booth we are talking about here.

Lolol, obviously he wouldnt. I just struggled to come up with a credible example so i went in the other direction.
