Re: Most respected live NL grinder?

To me this hand looks like a hand where Tran should have lost a lot of chips and doesn't prove much other than Doore made a terrible play.

Re: Most respected live NL grinder?
The thing to remember is that there were like 5 reraises. To me, having ONLY a pair after the turn and the way the betting was going, AK may not be any good to most reasonable NL deep stack player. Have to give credit to Kenny to have the guts to fire that many shell. I play at the 500NL level, and if I have fired one more shell on the river and my opponent's stack is 40 percent deeper, I'm pretty sure he'd fold AK on a flopped ace after all my reraise like Kenny.
