Brad would have been much better off raising the pot, and firing a second barrel on preferrential turns instead of making some massive spewful bluff all-in.

Yep.

Here is what Barry Greenstein stated about this hand in another thread:

[ QUOTE ]
You people keep missing the key detail on the Brad Booth hand. Phil Ivey thought Brad was some random businessman. He said he had never seen him before (although Brad had played a few sessions on the table adjacent to the big game). Phil called me at the first break and told me about the hand.

At the next break, he told me now that he had played with Brad a little, he would have definitely called with his Kings.

Hopefully this will enlighten the clueless [kuntsored] posting in this thread...

Phil Ivey thought Brad Booth was a businessman? LOL. Cmon, perhaps he hadn't played with Booth before, that's understandable, but how does he not know who he is? The whole poker communitty knows of Brad Booth.

well, maybe ivey is a much better player than booth and can wait for a better spot to take all his money. thoughts?

bad logic. Him taking his money now has no barring on his future ability to take his money. If he feels its a +EV decision to call he should do it, regardless of whether or not he could get a greater +EV situation in the future.

Why make a tough decision like this live when you can just go own a fish like aba online in PLO?

So Dustin, you're basically saying he's good with the fish live, but sucks online where most people are very good?

..... doesn't that mean he's a fish at the HSP table?

BTW ArmenH, I don't think you get why Aba lol'd....

If ivey had 30k behind the raise, I'm sure he would've snap called. The fact that he had 300k behind is a very different story..... I think someone mentioned this concept before, something about stack sizes?

[/ QUOTE ]

Ummm, Aba said he would never lay down QQ to Booth in that spot. So....stack sizes evidently didn't matter to him either. You dont have to have the nuts to call off 400bbs in a deep stacked game.

[/ QUOTE ]

Is this a joke account?

This hand is about Ivey (not Brian), who had no experience playing Brad Booth, and you expect him to call 400+ BB with KK against an unknown.

The point is that against an unknown without reads, Ivey easily calls all in with much less behind, than he would very very deep (as he was).

God...

[/ QUOTE ]
yes.. he knows what he can lose to.. but he also knows theyre both deep and theres a legitimate chance brad can pull this kind of move.

personally.. i know this, but if phil doesnt read 2+2 or know about booth its a fold.
