Phil Galfond?

[andy099]

has anyone heard what phil thinks of the way he has been represented on hsp now that he's watched it

[[Phill]]

His average stack with the straddles was like 40-80BBs deep - im not sure if your aware, but calling a raise with 93 or whatever trash he was getting dealt would be pretty bad.

He played for 2 hours, and in total probably got 70 hands, tops - probably 50 or less. In that time he happened to get two playable hands and played them pretty solid (though its easy to criticise the QQ hand when you can see the hole cards).

Its a shame Phil didnt get to play the 500k game because it would have been really good TV to see him shove 36 on a TT2 flop against Hellmuth and show it tilting him to [censored] and other crazy LAG stuff like that - but on the 100k day he was just too short and the game just too loose to do anything but TAG it up.

As Doyle said, you have to give action to get action. Jman didn't give any action, and thus he lost his action. Even Sklansky himself wrote in TOP that sometimes for political reasons you should play suboptimal poker to really maximize your EV in a larger sense.

Lolol, you do realise that if he planned on LAGing it up on the day 2, he should be playing uber TAG day 1?

And again, he had less than 2 hours of play.

I really wish he didn't get in on the day before the 500k day, and he only played with the 500k min buy-in.

Without Sammy and Elizra there, plus being 5x more deepstacked he could have played a lot looser.
