Poker After Dark thread (week of 11/5 - Of Mouth and Men)

[primetime32]

Couldn't find this discussed in this thread but did anyone notice Boston giving Gold a hard time about saying that he has "king high" on Boston's last hand. Didn't Boston do the same thing to Wasicka when he basically told Wasicka that he had AK when he didn't to induce a call out of Wasicka?

This guy makes Matusow and Hellmuth look good.

Problem with Gold is that he's a total calling station

Wow, you're remarkably ignorant..Gold threw away middle/top pairs than anyone else at the table. And if you've even watched a little bit about his play, you should realise he throws away very strong hands all the time if faced with enough strength.

Greatest level ever.

Love the bluff-raise into Paul by Gold. Cause Paul been so super-aggressive at the table too that he obviously has nothing.

Also for anyone saying Gold horribly misplayed the trip q's hands again Wasicka: clearly Gold's hand was extremely under-repped. Or are you guys too much of a results based thinker to see this? Checked to river. At this point both player could have any two cards. Gold bet out doesn't have to mean that much, especially since him and Paul had been checking down plenty of hands and could be tired of that. 9 Q Q 6 8 iirc. Paul could have easily had 10/10, J/J, any 9 - or what Gold thought: that he was just trying to take the pot away with a value-bluff raise. Now, Gold could just call but he figured that his hand was so under-repped to the point that Paul could very well easily be overvaluing himself with even A/8, and after all, it was only a min raise. And finally, Gold's raise was almost a min raise as well. How on Earth can that be a horrible overvalue??? lol, you guys. Yay, let's have a pre-constructed view of Gold via EPSN commentary or something and forever be biased because you hate him for no reason!! lolol. Alright, turns out Gold's re-raise was wrong, but the raise was so small that it was only a little bit of a mistake in a quite peculiar hand. Paul was thinking about folding to just 5k more????? Perhaps he was just selling the idea for television (or the table) that he can lay down hands if he turned out to be up against a better hand - but was never going to throw it away. But if not, then THAT was the worst and most perplexing part of the hand. And I'm not biased. I find Paul to me a much better player than Gold from what I've seen televised overall.

tl;dr

Ignoring everything else, his river b/3b is just horrendous because Wasicka is so tight. He almost laid down T7...do you really think Wasicka calls with QJ there? And that is moot anyway because Wasicka is not dumb enough to check trips IP on both streets...

Mike Sexton = God

He's proved it on the last TOC and now on PAD that he is that damn good.

[Kos13]

That is an incredible call by Sexton...which sucks since I was rooting for Wasicka.

[SuperUberBob]

Sick call by Mike Sexton.

Seriously, Paul hasn't moved in or made a big raise like that all tournament and Sexton calls with top pair, meh kicker. Impressive.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm happy that Sexton won. He played way too good to lose HU. Most importantly, he's a class act.

Luckboxed into that rivered boat though.

[Dima2000123]

Whew, for a moment I thought Gold was going to go down on Sexton.

[Proline Fiend]

this thread angers me on so many levels.
-the constant basing of boston. yes we noe he is gay but does every1 have to say it.
-and the continued bashing of Jamie Gold. god hes not that bad of a player.
Good Job Mike Sexton.
