so much more fun to watch when you know who wins. A good broadcast by ESPN I thought.

Too much limit IMO

no offense to stevepa here b/c I know he posts on 2p2 but he needs to learn how to fold a hand in limit hold em

basically he blew hundreds of thousands by playing like absolute [censored] at the ft

While I'll admit I'm not a limit expert, and that the AT river call against smokey was [censored] awful, I'm going to have to disagree. The only other big limit hands I played were pretty standard weren't they? The 77 and KQ hands I have no idea how else anyone would ever play, the AQ calldown is slightly thin but pretty standard against decent opponents.

Hasn't been thoroughly discussed, and maybe not my place to comment since I don't play at these levels, but I'm not sure what StevePA is trying to accomplish by calling with AT high. If he's trying to pickoff air, please keep in mind that the texture of the board makes any Broadway starting hand ahead of AT hi. He can beat A8 hi and missed open ended T8, I'm pretty sure even with wacked out Limit thought process this is a fold.

Final table was pretty uninteresting although some decent hands heads up.

Bilirakis wins the tournament and then looks like someone just shot his mother. Kid doesn't smile much for a college age kid who just won $530k.

GO BART GO

[stevepa]

firestorm, yes the AT call is dreadful. Not sure if I've discussed it on 2p2 or not, but basically I was hollywooding a little bit and just stuck the money in because I'm an idiot. Other than that hand I think I played fine.

[FireStorm]

For the record this was the only hand I really didn't agree with, altho as you said the AQ hand can easily be viewed as pretty thin.

I think it looks pretty good on t.v., alot better than in any of the photos shown of him. Also, I'm gettin' pretty sick of the ESPN guys' comments about it.
