I think it is important to know what game you are playing. This was more than just some fill-in cash game killing time for a few hours.

It was an audition and an opportunity to potentially opening himself up to winning a lot more money in the long run. He seems confident in his abilities against a lot of these players.... but he blew an opportunity to get more chances and exposure to play with them...

So in essence he was not playing the game that was at the table. If that meant he was playing -EV and dropped 150k loosing it up, so what.. if he really felt he could take these players it would have been more than worth it.

Defending him because he made the right technical moves for any generic hand of poker does not defend him for the mistakes he made in the bigger picture.

I suspect even if he never played on Day 2 he was not going to get the call on Day 3. The same Pros would have pushed him out.

Carpe Diem.

Perhaps there was no real opportunity there and perhaps he would have just lost money in the long run getting into that circle. He doesn't give the impression he felt that way... so again, if that was the case, he played it all wrong. Doesn't matter how many hours, how many hands or anything else.
