[/ QUOTE ] Why thank you! I am that good. I also watched the entire FT on PPV and saw every hand of that final table. So yes, I am qualified enough to assess Jerry's play.

Re: Khan\'s last hand
[ QUOTE ]
"Jerry Yang is opening for so much pre-flop and there were so much dead money in the blinds and antes. If I move in there I'm adding like 30% to my stack if he folds. I wanted to remain the same temperament pre-flop and didn't want to move all-in on the flop and him get a tell and make a call and feel bad about it. I wanted to end it right there, I wanted to gain the proper equity possible. Because if he's calling with Jacks he understands he's ahead of me, so I might as well get it all in pre-flop to maintain my 48% [46%] underdog [status]. But with the dead money in the pot it's a winning play I think." - Khan. Not sure I agree with all of that but it was a certainly a tough spot. Interview [/ QUOTE ] terrible reasoning since jerry seemed to be dumping his hand if an A flopped

Re: Khan\'s last hand
i don't see why khan didn't just call Jerry's raise.
We all know jerry isn't folding anything... We know he's hyper-aggro... let's just see a flop and re-assess. i think khan broke one of my major rules of final table MTT's which is: +) don't try to muscle the stack that can knock you out of the tourney.

[/ QUOTE ] woohoo results orientedness! if jerry isnt folding anything if jerry is hyperaggro isnt it very likely khan has the best hand and wants to get the most money in while it is? it looks like a great double up opportunity unlucky he ran into JJ but jerry is playing many weaker aces the same way edit: calling pre sucks hard, especially against this type of player

Re: Khan\'s last hand
I think the best play for Khan is to call and reassess on the flop.. I agree that you have to assume the big stack is going to put your tourney at risk. The push dark I don't like, but if he's trying to signal a big hand with a stop and go sort of move I guess it's ok... but it was clear that Yang was going to call and race him down regardless.
