Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
Results oriented much? If one of the other two had had a king or whatever, you'd probably be posting about what a great read Jman made.
Jman folded in a marginal situation, that's the only thing you can say about that hand. As it turned out it was the wrong move, but it could have been right. It wasn't mathematically guaranteed to lose like a bunch of the plays the others have made (Farha's pf call with K7 vs Hellmuth, Gold's raise and subsequent checkdown vs Farha with bottom pair with 3 players yet to act behind him, etc etc).

[/ QUOTE ] Even with Eli behind and Farha to act, this is your one chance to get both to fold. Blew it. To think he or Brandon wasnt watching the game to this point is ridiculous. They knew what style eli/farha have been playing since season 1. a big bet there is required to get respect. Lose the pot later but make the continuation to get respect.

Or more appropriately in this situation getting a seat on day 3 or not getting a seat by playing scared, nittish, absolutely silent and non-entertaining poker. I hope that explains marginal situations for you

Re: High Stakes Poker thread (10/29 - spoilers possible)
So those loose players can take stabs at that board with crap but jman couldn't try a simple cbet with QQ? Okay so the sample size is too small obviously but when you get only a few hours to play at least loosen up a bit and be a bit more aggressive against known donks with your good hands.
