Just wanted to say that it's nice to see people handling themselves with composure and class almost throughout the entire table. Daut, Ike and Jon all looked like total A-class professionals the entire time. Quite a step-up from that scandidonk yelling DAAAAA.

That all-in 2-bet call with AK spades on AQT all diamonds flop was rather awful IMO. Yep, it wasn't that hard not to root for FJustice.

Haxton was such a tellbox. Daut 3-bet all-in with Q9o right after Haxton made the smirk.

No way I would call a big all-in on that board. Easy fold against standard nob. The only hand I can reasonably beat is a total bluff. Calling even with top two in that situation would be a big reach for me. He was at best against royal flush draw with king of diamonds and on average had about 25% equity.

Of course a bet on the flop is still mandatory.

This, to me, is one of the few times where Sexton's commentary was useful and kind of insightful. The BB would've reraised PF most of the time he had a hand that would flop a set or top two on that board. Also, there aren't many playable suited combinations he could have that flopped a flush. Apparently FJ believed most of his range was either
1) CR with air on a scary board against that mean ol' bully trying to buy the pot
2) scared top pair or Q+gutshot
3) whatever else against which raising is better than folding

Then again, I suuuuuck at poker.

[FieryJustice]

Fwiw, I had what I thought was a read on him and it turned out to be very wrong. Also, he just seemed like he wasnt too confident in his hand. Obviously most of the time, I fold there but this is one of the rare places where I think I had to stick it in even thought it was wrong this time.

The bluff, rebluff, rerebluff hand is one of the sickest of all time. WP ike.

Btw, it looked like you were getting frustrated by Daut's aggressive play when you pushed with the gutshot, do you think you got outplayed HU?
