Timex final table bustout hand 3 handed in stars $320

[Annulus]

i was watching this for last hour or so. timex was playing very tight-aggressive up to this point. whats his thinking/rational here? him and villian do have some history. i forgot the details but a little earlier timex got all in verse villian as a 3 to 1 underdog only to river a naked flush and stay alive in the tournament.

Sometimes timex is...uh.....not good...

[TheNewf]

meh, his ability to make big calls like this that are right more often than not is what seperates him from most of you.

[shaniac]

he thought his pair was good, wanted to gamble? SB played QQ real sneaky!

[flyingmoose]

All I can think right now is "aggressive call."

[THEOSU]

oh man, i can't believe i get to say this...

he put his opponent on AK.

This is your standard spite call, and the fact he didn't get there by the river is absurd.

[curtains]

ok not the best call ever. I dunno pay structure but at thsi point it should be similar to a sit and go to some degree, which makes a call like this even worse. You need a pretty decent amount of equity to make this call correct in such a situation. Off the cuff I'd say he needs at least 55-57% equity to breakeven.

Given that we have just about 45% equity in our nearly best case scenario of being up against a flush draw with two overcards, this call just can't be right. Even against a flush card with one overcard, which would be a pretty big surprise here, we have only 55% equity. Of course a decent % of the time we will be completely smashed as well.

Has anybody confirmed this wasn't a misclick?
