Default Re: ESPN really screwed up in their coverage on Tuesday

Everyone always comments on how these pros misplayed their hands, but it never occurs to anyone that they were acting on reads!!! I'm sure Scotty noticed that Lam was nervous (which he probably was facing a preflop 3 bet on a king high board) and put him on air. I'm sure Kenny Tran thought he had good reason to stack off with top pair in his downfall hand. Obviously they weren't right in these situations, but they probably would not have gotten as far as they did without trusting their reads and taking similar chances at some point. Give credit to their opponents for throwing them off, whether intentional or not.
