Default Poker After Dark thread (week of 10/1 - Poker Prowess)

It's another brand new week of Poker After Dark episodes, but the lineup may not be as exciting as previous weeks if the discussion is to be believed. They've titled this week's lineup "Poker Prowess", and they got that half right. This week's lineup features:

John Juanda
Annie Duke
Andy Bloch
David Williams
Phil Laak
Clonie Gowen

Are you saying that all these people are good in bed? How would you even know?

David Williams is trying way to hard to maximize his air time.

Am I the only one who found the first hand strange or badly played?

Block flop top set and just called the weak bet on the river on a pretty safe board


Only on thing could beat him is if williams have flop a flush but pretty unprobable in a heads up hand

this is in the same category than the J Tilly hand [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

no it is not. if anything block played the flop badly.. his river call was not a bad play... if he raises, williams is capable of a) had the flush the whole way and played it the exact same way or b) bluffing huge. either way block took the correct action on the first hand of a six player freeze-out where you start the match with 100 big blinds.

raising williams is not the problem.... calling williams potential re-raise is the problem.

I'm really happy that Laak is gone. It makes the rest of the week waaaay more enjoyable. BTW, I hope Williams goes quickly too. He's one of those, "I have to prove how smart I am" kind of guys. Note how he says to the table, "That's why you don't play 7-5 suited" when Juanda is drawing dead and on the trailer for tomorrow's show, "I've got poker down, boys and girls." Disgusting.

ever heard of self effacing humor? he is aware that the table is aware that he's an ATC player. Juanda is much less so. there's the humor. perhaps you should have someone watch the episodes with you so they can explain to you what's going on.
