High Stakes Poker thread (11/19 - 500K buyin pt 3 - Spoilers on alert)

[Foreverastudent]

Everyone is talking about how painful Farha's AA vs. Gold's KK was, but let's be honest. If Sammy had pushed all-in on the river and had Jamie called, it would have been one of the most beautiful moments in High Stakes Poker history. Few things in life are better than seeing Jamie Gold (almost) down to the felt.

Also, my two cents on Farha on the river. Was it a bad move on his part not to bet on the river? I think so. Considering the action, what could Gold realistically have? I think Sammy just had a temporary brain fart, fearing the monsters under the bed. Admit it though, we've all done it before, many times. I don't put much stock in the collusion or shearing-not-skinning-the-sheep theories that I've been reading.

But as loose and aggressive as Sammy is, at least he can put on the breaks, in contrast to Jamie and Guy, who have been really overplaying their hands -- at least the ones that have been shown. It's a recipe for disaster in deep-stack no-limit, and it'll catch up to them sooner or later.

The only mistake Phil made was underbetting the flop, but I'm sure he was trying to induce a raise or had other reasons for it.

thank you.

i don't railbird internet players. so i wouldn't know of all these great plays you guys watch. all i know is that in three out of four hands i've seen the guy play he played badly. that's all.

Hey guys didn t you notice what farha really did after he made this scared chack on the river - he tryed to tell jamie that he did it becouse they are "friends" so that jamie would be "friendly" to him later in the Game, which of course he didnt was. Farha has this Carsallesman mantality he wants to get profit out of everything.

[TheGame232]

He did this to Phil hellmuth too by the way when he offerd him insurence

Doyle is funny as hell.

Antonio: "Sick versus sicker"
Doyle: "You mean dumb and dumber?"

*when they are discussing about Gold check-raising in the dark*
Doyle: "What has poker come to?"

Doyle: "If my daddy knew I was a loser in this poker game he'd come out of the grave and beat the heck out of me"
Barry: "Exactly lol"
