Poker commentators spend to much time and effort trying to guess the specific holding a player has.

They should simply try to explain the various logical holdings they could have based on the action. Then, they can elaborate after the hand.

Hardly.
You should probably just lighten up.

Pretty ****ing ballsy though since if Stash has a J or a flush he loses the tourney

Hoping Stazko call with what? A pair of ten? Or that he called twice with KQ and will call with top pair ?

Once again, not sure how it makes sense.

not really gonna argue this, but they are completely different situations.

before with the KK, for one it was a small pot and two heinz actually repped zero hands except MAYBE AJ. it's a stretch for heinz to have the nuts here but he can def have it when he plays the hand that way, and in general there's just a huge difference between picking off a bluff in a small pot and calling off 2/3 of your stack with a bluffcatcher when you get c/r on the river.

i mean whatever, im guaranteeing you heinz thought he could fold out a J. 0% the raise was for value, so he obviously is trying to fold out a set, J or lower flushes.

Esfandiari : "Your cbet needs to win 50% of the time when you bet mid pot "

Someone needs to teach Antonio basic math

It seems Esfandiari thinks every raise by Heinz looks fishy.

No wonder there is not stop action at this table.

Alright, that's cool, most people don't apologize so you get points from me for that at the very least.

Just quote the tweet next time and let everyone make up their own minds.

I didn't see anything in Ben's Twitter to suggest he was being disrespectful to his opponents.

What's Danny talkin' bout?

I think it was that he was staring straight at Heinz the whole time and then when Heinz looked at him, he looked towards his own chip stack. That's what I noticed anyways; made me think Stas was bluffing

Heinz is just schooling Staszko right now. Let's see if he can pick off a big bluff or trap him or something.
