New Orleans WSOP: Some great poker

[sauroneru]

This is the most fabulous poker I have ever seen being played. Worse than a home game. I've seen tourney people call all-in with the nut low ("I guess I have the odds..."), call 90% of their stack to a pot-sized turn bet with an inside straight draw, call anything with a backdoor higher 2 pair draw, and bet top pair 9 kicker like it was the nuts (which, in all fairness, it was). I've seen someone with a $480 stack at $10/$25 cash game call $425 preflop (heads up) and fold to the flop bet, and of course an inside straight draw on a paired board with two suits is a hand you simply can't get away from. It's amazing. Of course, I'm down several thousand, as I'm apparently worse than the competition...
