ZOMG Farry what a morean.

[/ QUOTE ]

lol ... I almost wet my pants. Normally you see such a play at <$10MTTs

[/ QUOTE ]

For the uninformed, what is a reasonable calling range in that spot?

[/ QUOTE ]

JJ+ AKs

[/ QUOTE ]

Well I think you can fit AKo in there as well. To be fair, he was getting kinda short, but KQs is just absurd.

[/ QUOTE ]

He had just under 2 million, what were the blinds, was the BB like 120K? If so I really HATE his call, it's horrible.

John Kalmer New Chip Boss

Anybody but that guy and the old guy as new "world champion". I mean no offense but...

I put a $1 bounty out on his head yesterday. $1 is waiting to be sent to Alex Kravchenko's PokerStars account. All I need is his sn there.

If anyone knows, please tell me. I'm sure Alex is eager to claim his prize!

Now I just need to find a new enemy ...

Put a bounty on Kalmar's head, please.

QFT, but shouldn't it be moran? "morean" almost lends it a sophisticated air, which doesn't seem appropriate for someone who plays this poorly.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nah, it's "more" than a "moran". Get it? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I bow to your superior interpretive skillz, sir.

Kenny Tran Eliminated in 16th ($381,302)
There's a dead button, Kenny Tran in the cutoff raises to 350,000 Jon Kalmar is in the small blind and calls. Lee Watkinson is in the big blind and folds. The flop is {10c}{3d}{6c} and Kalmar checks. Tran bets 500,000 and Kalmar calls. The turn is {9s}. Kalmar checks. Tran bets 1,300,000 and Kalmar calls. The river is {2c}. Kalmar is all in. Tran thinks for a very long time and Kalmar finally calls the clock. With four seconds to go, Tran calls and Kalmar shows {Ac}{8c} for the rivered flush. Kenny Tran is out. Kalmar is up to 17,000,000 -- the chip lead.

Donkeys always draw, Kenny. Just fold it. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Has anyone else noticed that with 3 tables left we still have 3 Vietnamese players.

On average, Viets are the greatest poker players in the world.

[/ QUOTE ]

Excellent sample size. What do you have to say about other ethnic/racial groups?

[/ QUOTE ]

How long and how closely do you follow poker ? I don't claim to have performed a rigorous statistical study, but it's clear to me that expressed as a ratio of great players to world population of the race/ethnicity, Viets are by far the best. It's not even close.

All my Vietnamese friends who follow poker agree with me. Yes, they might be biased a bit, but they follow poker closely (precisely because of all the great Viet players) and in general they know their stuff.

What race/ethnicity do you think rivals Viets for producing great poker players. I'm interested to hear your opinion.

[/ QUOTE ]

The problem is you know jackshit about how statistics work

[/ QUOTE ]

Of the top 25 poker players in lifetime earnings, 4 are Vietnamese. Of the top 50 players, 6 are Vietnamese. 7 if 'Tony' Ma is Vietnamese. That's 12 or 14%. All South Vietnamese also. Less than 1% of the world population is Vietnamese. So what are the chances? These players all were just lucky.

He's immune for busting Humberto.

I sent him a dollar for that one too.

It's too bad. A FT at the 50K HORSE and NLHE ME would have been quite a story.

Oh well.

Down with Kalmar! He is not the face of poker. He's more a face of radio poker.

[Injection]

Oh noes not the dreaded check-call every street, shove with rivered nuts.
