Todd's response to the hand seems logical..there are a ton of dead diamonds on 5 and Danzer was starting with bricks in the hole quite often. 3 aces dead on 6th which would mean Danzer's hand is usually 4 to dead diamonds, a low draw and opens aces? I'm nowhere near good enough to calculate those odds in my head on the fly but obv he thought it was correct.
This hand deserves a thread. I didn't want to discuss the strat on twitter with you, I think this forum is a much better location to chat about it. I'd don't think it's wise to talk about our peer's understanding of the game, but it's fair to say thats what Todd's thought process was based upon. Instead, lets discuss ranges and equity! I'll copy your content and create the thread - should be a very vigorous discussion.
From my pov, I see exactly what Todd was doing - and there is a time for that line, but I don't think this was the most opportunistic spot. His play wasn't horrible for a cash game vs very specific opponents - but for a tournament, I'd pass. I don't fault him for trying though!
