Default AC\'s call with QJ

Was he really getting 1.5-1 on his call there? Was it a correct call? Phil Gordon said something about how it might be correct if you put your opponent on AK. It seemed like 3 million was a bit more than I'd want to risk at that point in the tournament with Allen's stack.

Default Re: AC\'s call with QJ

I don't think it was a good play. His opponent was playing UBER tight and I think taking the chance of doubling him up in that situation wasn't worth it.

I think that Gold actually played his stack well. Being on Allen's left, Gold "protected" his button alot and of course his blinds. Gold could afford to float on the button some do to his huge amount of chips. Allen just wasn't going to be able to use late position all that well to pick up the blinds. Put Allen in one or two spots to his Gold's left and I think that Allen would have been able to alot more blind stealing FWIW.
