Cunningham: Not Beating...Joining?

[MLG]

I think there is at least a chance that the 200 was actually 2000 and a mistprint which makes it a semi-bluff which i like.

Rushmore,
To answer your question more seriously. My guess is that a guy like AC is more interested in maximizing his chance of winning a bracelet, rather than maximizing his expected profit for the tournament as you or I most likely would. Given that assumption, a 'go big or go home' strategy might make more sense for him.

Doubt it. The guy opened UTG with 97s. A 200 chip bet is not infeasible coming from a guy who'd do that.

Eh, could of been a sick read by AC... knew he had a flush draw, which he probably had dominated. Just didn't expect a random pair.

Value push w/ K-high. LDO.

Pretty good chance. There's also the chance that by "under
the gun" the reporter meant "cutoff."

If you're saying that is exactly what happened (that he was in the CO and that his turn bet was 2K), then it all makes sense now, and I can stop fretting about some virulent strain of imbecilitis infecting pretty much everyone in poker these days.
