Sammy simply messed up the river in the AA hand.

If there was a deal/agreement, wouldn't Sammy move in 'preflop' (to say "Hey, I got the nuts. Muck your hand Jamie")?

shane i hope you are reffering to GOld and not to sammy.

I dont see any of Sammy's action (in the AA KK hand) imply that he was soft playing jamie.

Gold is a talker who tries to confuse the [censored] out of ppl when he is in a hand, especially big hands. Sammy check the river b/c he was confused as hell, and IMO gold is one player you can't put on a narrow range in that spot. It's pretty wide IMO.

If sammy saw jamie's cards you think he'd check?

It is a nice move by Guy ONLY because he's playing Gold. He did the same thing in the very first hand with the re-raised with AJ on the flop. Somehow, letting Gold having position on him induced more marginal plays from Mr. Donk. Don't forget, he's a billionaire so he could care less about suckouts. So really there is nothing wrong there.

Doyle missed out a 500K stacked opportunity because he over-valued Gold. That's one costly mistake. In order to beat this game he has to tune his hand range to just one level above Gold's.

Do the poker community a favor and never post strategy again.

Poker strategy for billionaires: something of a niche market.

For god's sake it's just an observation, having nothing to do with strategy. It works for Guy against Gold so far (and PA, minus the suckout).

Or would you rather take Sammy's and Doyle's plays against Gold? In general, you will see players start to loosen up in the upcoming eps. (I saw ep15 already, big pots coming up)

It does help Guy when he is not too concern with variance though. Money to the foundation.

What an annoying episode.
