K. Makes sense.

you also fail to realize that if he believes one of the other two players also holds AAxx then he could actually be a dog to the third hand...

we have no idea what factors he was thinking about

Lol yah, remember that hand 10 years ago at the WSOP when some guy said he was allin but still had chips behind? Legendary stuff.

Especially in a mixed game. Tighter/nitty early in PLO rounds makes a lot of sense. Still, this particular hand is surely a call.

Early in the night, a hand happened where Yakovenko made a wheel, but turned over the two cards he wasn't using for the wheel first. A few seconds later, he turned over the cards that showed he had a wheel and scooped the pot after slowrolling Mosseri. Mosseri was upset and picked up the chips he owed to Yakovenko and tossed them across the table. Yakovenko had pulled this move because prior to this, Mosseri was doing some unpleasant joking towards Yakovenko's play in the event.

What a bunch of babies

Not sure if level or if you just don't know who Abe Mosseri is

^^ this. With more than 100bb, shipping AAxx (even a good AAxx) all in pre flop in a mixed game tournament on the PLO round is not something someone like Abe, who has a skill edge, really is wild about doing.

Is this event going to be streamed later? Table with Blom and Antonius looks interesting! Sigh... looks like it's only event 44 getting streamed today.

Not a level. I don't know who this Abe Mosseri is but he's certainly no poker genius.

The shove is so obvious considering
- there is dead money in the pot
- shaundeeb never has AA, he's gambooling with any 4 at this point
- the russian can and will isolate deeb with most of his range including very dominated hands like AKQT or KKxx, Mosseri can't really have AA in this spot
- in the worst case scenario where the russian also have AA and deeb a rundown, then it should be pretty much neutral ev with the dead money
- his double trap with AA worked perfectly

It's hard to guess the thinking process of a livetard in cases like this, but if he was tanking because he really thought his edge in the other games is so huge that he can allow himself to pass on +EV spots like this, then he should just fold out all hands in plo. What if he could topsetmine cheaply with his aces, and the flop came A65ss? Should he also bet fold because he could be flipping vs a wrap and a fd? It seems ******ed to have this thinking process and to register in a tournament with NL and PLO rounds.

If he was tanking because he was not sure how profitable this spot was, then it means he's like most livetards, unable to assign ranges or use basic maths .

If he had a brainfreeze (that would explain the ******ed CALL decision after thinking for 15 minutes about shoving or folding) because of the pressure of the players around the table or whatnot, then he has nothing to do in a 50k tournament.

If he was just tanking to piss off the russian, then he's just a douchebag.

Maybe I missed another scenario, but for the moment all of them are telling me this Abe Mosseri guy is not a good poker player.

Deeb never has AA - lol no - That's what Max thought when he shoved A6 in the main event last year.
Deeb is gambooling with any 4 at this point - lol no
the russian can and will isolate deeb with most of his range - lol no
Mosseri can't really have AA in this spot - probably not a wise statement considering his hand
worst case is he's neutral ev - lol no

I'm just falling deper and deeper into this level, aint I?

Deeb could overlimp behind 3 guys with AA 28bb deep? LOL NO
He is gambooling with any 4... the overlimp plus shove ai line whith a shortstack is never strong and in this case JJT7ss is quite an poor hand for staking off pre in plo.
Superb spot for the russian with tons of dead money to take, I'm pretty sure he repots almost 100% of the time.
Mosseri didn't iso limpers with AA and he didn't 3bet so yeah ok he could have bad aces in this spot but it's only like 1% of hands compared to his 30% overlimping and overcalling initial range.

Sorry but have you played a single hand of plo in your life?

Pwned I guess.

Someone can explain me now what was he thinking about in this hand.

Maybe he doesnt want to flip for his stack so early in the tournament. Remember this is plo and not holdem.

lol I've probably played 100K hands of omaha cash. You speak in certainties and are so far off. You think the Russian is repotting to $246K 100% of the time at 600-1200 in a $50k tourney? Also, Abe could easily have anything, including good aces, as he's only called one pot sized bet preflop for $12k while sitting on a $500K stack.

He was most likely not thinking over if it was +"EV" (in this case +chips) to get it in with his AAxx, but if it was worth the risk of losing a ton of chips when he has a pretty good edge over the field in the HORSE games
