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

I think the biggest moron in that AA KK hand was Farha. I mean seriously if you don't know Gold has KK or QQ you should quit poker. And i'm sick of the excuse "ill check because i like you". It's poker Sammy, you always complain how you lose and are unlucky, well you get your perfect hand and you play it like a pansy and don't make an extra 180k or so on the river when you know you have the best hand.

I'm not convinced Sammy really knew where he was at. AT one point Jamie said "I might have a set" and "I'm trying to be nice to you". I really think Sammy thought that there was a possibility that Jamie had 10,10.

One guy here told me that all this banter saved Jamie $180K on the river. But I think that Jamie should easily have been able to dump this hand on Sammy's $100K bet. He said "you have aces" 10 times. But that's how bad Jamie is... he'll knowingly call when he is behind JUST because his hand is strong. He seems to think that this is justification to pay people off.

Agreed. Jesus Sammy, did you really think Gold rivered trips?!

What a [censored] pussbag. After Gold turns into a whiney little bitch at the end of the hand, I was shocked Farha couldn't find a way to just push the last 185 in.

I mean Jesus, think of the beauty:

"OK Jamie, I'm going all in"

"Oh Sammy, I know you have aces, but I can't lay this hand down. I call."

"I have aces Jamie."

"I knew it. Bye guys."

Sammy becomes 'The Guy That Finally Served Up Jamie Gold'



instead...


"I CALL,I CALL,I CALL,I CALL. SAMMY, WHATEVER YOU BET I CALL."

"Er um uhh...er um uhhh..."

"Just check Sammy. I really suck and I need you to check here because I can't lay down kings. Please check."

"Er um uhh.......OK I check, but only because I like you."


What a maroon. I hope The Big Game never let's Sammy forget, but I'm pretty sure they won't.


What a joke.

Did Jamie say "I can't lay down Kings"... I didn't hear him say that. If he did, then the river check by Sammy IS horrible. I thought I heard an earlier exchange that had Jamie indicating he may have flopped a set of 10's and was check calling "to be nice to you". I didn't tape the show so I can't go back and see the exchange again (I think it's re-run on Friday).

I was under the imprssion during the entire hand that Sammy thought Jamie was either on KK or 10,10 and this is why he checked the river because there was a possibility that Jamie was on 10,10 and was being nice to Sammy for "ragging out" on his aces.

Even if this is true, and its not really there's one way for Jamie to have 10s and 6 ways for him to have Ks. Thats a super easy push.

I found the whole AA vs. KK situation tiresome to watch.
