obv the one above

Phil would call too fwiw. I think by reasonable he means that one could find a fold there, but no way he would ever fold it.

how does he say he's active and raising a lot...and then go on to say he was playing VERY carefully and tight?

sounds like someone trying to make themselves feel better...he lied when he said BI didn't matter...if it didn't matter then you HAVE TO call

He was saying that Dwan was active and raising lots so Morgan would have likely 3 bet KK preflop.

He's saying that durrrr was very active and raising a lot, not the businessman.

Are we ruling out that the villian didn't notice the paired board and shipped it with the nut ace high flush?

pffff.. It doesnt matter whether they play a million dollar buy-in tournament or a normal $5k WSOP event. The buy-in should not matter, if it does it's too big for you.

I have never seen any player from russia ever fold a pair on pokerstars.

this is a sign of the end of the world I think WTF REALLY..

zizek · 07-02-2012, 06:27 AM

Fun fact: Phil Galfond saying there are "very few hands" that aren't a straight flush is an indirect way of saying the fold was retarded, since even if there was just one other combination he could have that wasn't a straight flush it would be a call due to pot odds. The fact there could be more than one (hence, plural) makes it even worse.

Unlikely that he missed both chances, the paired board for full house/quads chance, and the straight flush chance. unless of course he had A9s/ATs making the strghflsh impossible.

This is one of those things that either makes you look like a genius or super stupid. Would be interesting to know which he is in this occasion.

The buy-in does matter. It's stupid to say that it doesn't. If the 1M USD (or whatever the buy-in is) means a lot to your opponent, he will shove super narrow range on the river and probably never gonna bluff.

I'm not talking just about this spot, but in general, yes it does matter.
