Joe Seboks blog post - Re: Ikes play

[8Adam8]

People are dumb...

From what i've gathered:

-Joe Sebok may be a winning live tounrment player, but so is a monkey who can beat $1 online MTTs.
-Joe Sebok does not understand basic tournament concepts
-Thinking the 99 call is even remotely close vs Ike's re-stealing range is LOL

haha I was at this table. It was the funniest thing to see Sebok just sit there all whinny after losing the flip.

Obviously both plays are very standard.

Ya it was pretty funny. Like one orbit later he looks over at me, still really pissed off, and says something like "You're that Haxton guy, right?" I said "Yah, you're that guy that dressed like a baby last year, right?" He did not get less pissed.

Hang on there, Bob! If you were playing against yourself, you'd make the resteal with suited connectors -- in which case, the call with 99 is just fine. No?

If I was against myself, I'd know exactly what my opponent was holding and he'd know exactly what I was holding since we both think alike since we are the same person.

Anyways, what does this have to do with Joe Sebok and Ike?

Of course SC is not the only hand I'd re-steal with. I just don't mind doing it with that rather than A2o or something like that.

[Thegunshow]

anyone hear the wed show? he basically rails a guy who is willing the get his money in as a 2:1 dog but is getting better than 2:1 on his money. When it pointed out that the guy had a big stack and it was a +ev play he starts getting mad talking about how you should never get it in with the worst of it

This was obviously a much tougher call...

where does joe say that 99 was a close or tough call? he said it was TOUGHER, tougher than calling with kings.

[CaseS87]

They made a few comments on the pokerwire radio show tonight about this thread.

I'll summarize the comments made:

Joe Sebok: I didn't actually insult him. (apparently calling someone an idiot isn't an insult anymore) I never said the AT play was bad, but the KJ hand is terrible.

Joe Stapleton: LOL 2+2 IS FULL OF NERDS AND HAND RANGES ARE STUPID!!!

Why? Folding 99 here would be a disaster.

Superuberbob, open pokerstove, put a reasonable (read: wide) restealing range against 99 and then come back and say it's a bad call.

P.S. I have more in tournaments winnings than Joe Sebok in way less tournies. Ship it.

Brag: I wrote the e-mail that got on PokerWire about this
Beat: It's not that interesting + I'm dumb
Variance: Joe Sebok thinks the Gap Theory is trash and can't define it?
