Just reading the action, the FT seems like a $1/$2 donkfest. Seriously, do all these players have some place to be?

Good for Kalmar for insisting on seeing that hand

[/ QUOTE ]

Why? He didn't learn anyting of consequence about Yang's play.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, but he could have.

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't think so. As soon as Yang says he's beat, you've got to know he can't beat Ace-high.

Maybe you learned that he didn't bet a gutshot on the flop or turn against the pre-flop raiser. But, I doubt Yang will always be playing that way.

Am I alone in remember Gordon not being horrible last year?

[/ QUOTE ]

He got better as the night went on...also, the guests really made the broadcast. Phil said some pretty stupid stuff....which is to be expected being as how he's not really very good at poker.

[/ QUOTE ]

Haha, you beat me to it.

He learned exactly what he was checking to the river and then trying to make a river bluff with. Of course, he already had a read that Yang was playing with garbage, but why not know exactly what hand he had?

Is there any advantage in letting him just muck?

Him asking to see the hand is a LOT less douchebaggary than Yang praying for the 8.

Phil,

I guess Lee W's A7 10m overbet push w/ 100-200k or whatever blinds told us everything we need to know about him.

QFT - you have to get information when you can and calling 1.5 million he was certainly entited to see it!

[/ QUOTE ]

That was my thinking. Sends a strong signal to Yang that he can't pull b*tch cr*p like trying to muck a called hand.

Dynasty,

By "hedging" you mean making overly specific reads and incorrect guesses as to pot sizes?

The only way you can know for sure is to see the cards.
