And then, of course, the TT hand. You REALLY got to love Alan Meltzer's luck.

Plus Meltzer had to know that both Viffer and Dwan would never, ever fold to his raise. So Meltzer's fold equity was zero and he's sitting with a weak hand out of position against Viffer and Dwan. Not a good place to be unless he hits the flop really hard. If Meltzer misses the flop, who's going to win the game of chicken?

Hulu also has the episodes in super high quality if anybody cares. I think there's a 1 day delay.

Can't believe Meltzer is that short, must be hard to take him serious as a CEO. Never knew his record company was so big.

P.S.

Does Meltzer remind anyone of the Penguin villain in the Batman movies?

I don't understand why Dwan bet in the 63s hand on the turn. He had bottom pair and an OESD on the turn in a 3bet straddle pot. He had to know that Gabe is never gonna fold a pair to that 1/2 psb on the turn so it seems like he's only getting called by better. Not saying this is bad cuz I see other pros make these bets so I know there's a reason for it I just wanna know what the reason is.

I was thinking protection but I really doubt he was betting bottom pair for thin value on the turn..... also if he's betting for value it's not a semi bluff.

This is one of those situations where seeing the hole cards warps the viewer's thinking. It happened Dwan had basically one of the worst possible hands from Meltzer's standpoint. But how likely was that?

Ya - good points. Also the history between them. Really interesting hand, I still cant decide what I would have done, probably gone for it "look at all my outs!" Maybe a case for thinking Dwan wanted to shut it down with say a set or 2 pair. Would love to know what he was actually thinking to make the shove. Great show- here's hoping Phil L gets swapped for Phil I - he needs to be there!

exactly.

its not like he can run it twice when he's a dog and then expect to run it once when he's a favourite.

i don't get all this hate for the amatuers that play these games. sure they're not as good as the pro's but if they can afford it then good luck to them.

Kaplan - durrr 2:0

Nice slowmotion by Kaplan imitated durrr chips-handmove.
durrr must be tilting as hell right now so he stopped to bluff the river with his missed draw.
