You don't have to move to mexico....bring your cash to L.A. for next month's WPT...Juan Carlos will be there.

You might want to ask some of the top tourney pros what they think of Juan Carlos...you will find that his game is held in high esteem.

I'll bite, what's good about Juan Carlos's game? It seems like the amount of money he's putting in the pot is inversely proportional to the strength of his hand, with him keeping the pot small with the nuts while grossly overbetting with some crap that's beyond marginal. That was compounded by the fact that he was always so frozen and twitchy every time he made a bluff, making it relatively easy to pick off with stuff that's only marginally less marginal.

Amazing how the tv experts judge a person's game by watching someone play maybe 8 or so hands. You have no clue sir.

Wow @ Danny Wong stacking off ~40BBs with AQo to a 4-bet shove.

Do you really need an elaborate trap made from twigs and sticks to beat these players? Just wait until the fish jumps in the boat and then whack it with the oar.

Also, yeah, I have to ask what would be considered good about Juan Carlos' game. He acts like he's played too many $11 SNGs.

Alvarado and Wong are both good.

T5 vs 97 hand was entertaining

Turn Prophet · #17 07-26-2007, 01:18 AM

Good (very good, even) players sometimes make non-good moves. Shocking!

Wetdog · #18 07-26-2007, 02:13 AM

Pham called more than a telemarketer.

And T5 v 97 was sick.

that made me go wtf too, I mean seriously the guy just 4-bet you a ton more chips early on in the FT and you insta-call w/ AQ? I mean seriously learn to play poker.

If you play a very aggressive style of poker and you're playing 6 handed you're going to have to call 4 bets with AQ.
