Default Ricky Zilem at the circuit

I can understand people doing donk moves but I don't think Kido's donk move was really donky at all. It's a big tournament and people will call with flush draws. Ricky called Kido's raise with QQ, and he had 62 of hearts. Flop came undercards with two hearts, Kido checked, Ricky raised, Kido re-raised, Ricky went all in and after awhile he called.

If I was new to poker I would be pissed, but some people take loose risks.

I just laughed at the way he was whining afterwards, as if he's never played poker before. Do people seriously expect there to be no luck in poker? Not to mention it was pretty donkish imo to reraise all-in with QQ after getting check-raised on a JTx board.

People who just call pf with QQ are bad.

Well Kido was an aggresive player and I guess he wanted to trap him. Flop was okay, but he got re-raised. Tough situation for him, I guess. I can't blame his move, he did have the best hand anyways.

No, you're required to raise pre-flop with big pocket pairs. I read it in a book somewhere. I'm pretty sure it's a rule, but it might just be a courtesy.

I hope so.

FWIW, Ricky slaughtered every hand he was involved in that was shown on TV, with the possible exception of his bustout hand.

"I got lucky in a sense. I rivered a straight. Trip Queens? That's what I thought you had. That's why I checkraised the turn with a gutshot."

And the river checkraise in the blind battle hand made me puke. Board reads TT842, it gets checked down. BB bets on river, Zilem checkraises with 42! What can the guy call with that loses to tens and fours? When he gets reraised by the full house, he makes it sound like he's making some huge laydown. That's a check/call hand at best.

I was thoroughly unimpressed with his play.

Kido can play bad poker because he was chased by the VC.
