Moneymaker's bluff against Farha

Matt Williams · #1 07-27-2007, 12:43 PM

I don't really remember the circumstances of this hand, but I keep hearing that it was a really bad play by Moneymaker and he got lucky that Farha was so tired and made a big mistake by folding. Can anyone explain why it was a bad play by Moneymaker?

I just remember his allin on the river was a weird line. Also, he covered his mouth which indicates a bluff, in this case it was accurate.

being a noob i really thought it was a great play... than i realized how horrible his line was, farha even said that he was almost positive he was good but figured he could out play him and it was not worth it. horrible bluff imo.

Why are you criticizing a bluff that worked perfectly? It shifted the momentum towards Moneymaker and gave him the confidence he desperately needed to beat sammy and win the tournament. He had to make a move sometime.
