  1. There's no context when someone goes all-in wih J10 after you reraise someone with it and then someone RERAISES you for the third raise. Kido is a good player. but it was a terrible play.
  2. Even though Phil Hellmuth might have played in more World Series events than with the possible exception of Men the Master and T.J. Cloutier its still not easy to win a bracelet especially in the larger hold'em events which Phil has won all his bracelets in.Also Doyle won half his bracelets in fields with less than a 100 players. Here's the breakdown of the fields of each braclet the Holy Trinity have won:Bracelet Phil Doyle Johnny1 178 17(?) 335(?) 2 84 22 152 3 284 65(?) 1674 173 34 226 5 69 14(?) 326
  3. Here are some other great WSOP's:Chris Ferguson 2000: 1st Stud, 1st in main event. 7th in Stud Hi/Lo, and 8th in Razz.Phil Hellmuth 2001: 1st NLH, 2nd Omaha 8, 5th in the main event, 6th in Limit Hold'em, and three other cashes.Layne Flack 2002: Two No Limit Wins.Chris Ferguson 2003: 1st in Omaha Hi-lo, 1st in Limit/Stud event, 2nd in PLH, 4th in NL Deuce event, 6th in PLO, and set WSOP record with 8 cashes.Phil Hellmuth 2003: 1st in Limit Hold'em, 1st in NLH, 3rd in Limit Omaha, 6th in Limit Hold'em, and two other cashes.Men the Master Nguyen 2003: 1st in Stud, 1st in A-5 Triple Draw, 2nd in
  4. You can only show two cards to take down the pot, but it is better to show all four. You don't want to show just two and realize your beat and accidently muck half the pot. Also you don't want to inadvertantly slow roll so it is better just to show all four.
  5. No that's not the one. This tournament features 21 players representing 21 different countries.
  6. Who do players borrow from to get the 500 to 600k needed to play in the big game if they're broke?
  7. It's a damn shame this show was never given a chance. It was great to see great poker players disecting and analyzing the play at the WPT Championship and arguing whether or not certain plays were right or not. The Travel Channel was idiotic for not giving this show a chance.
  8. Sometimes you have to gamble even with a small pocket pair with the blinds that high.
  9. 7-3 suited, Q-5 offsuit, and J-2 suited.
  10. While I think the best odds are for players who play the highest stakes cash games I'm not going to count out a lot of tournament players who seem to excel at all five games. Here are the tournament players I think have the best shot:John Juanda (One of the best in No Limit, Stud 8/or better bracelet, multiple stud final tables and wins, and multiple Razz final tables. Only problem is Omaha 8/or better is said to be his weakest game).Chris Ferguson (Final tables in all five games. Stud, 2 in Omaha8 or better, and one in a limit hold'em/stud tournament)Men Nguyen (One of the best stud tournamen
  11. I say raise because you might get the original raiser to call too bets cold. Even though your only four low and only have backdoor draws its worth putting in the extra bet in because besides a 7 any card completing your low will give you some kind of draw. A 3 give you an open-ended straight draw and an ace and 6 will give you a gut shot. You can even a high club and bet out and get the other players to fold. You could catch the three of clubs and bet out and get the other players to fold when you only have eight-high!Throw in the fact people often chase and call down with just high hands, I b
  12. I believe the blinds were really high and it was a blind vs. blind battle and Daniel probably felt that he might legitimately have the best hand.
  13. Defnitely not a call. The only thing I consider a call is if someone verbally says call or puts chips into the pot. I've never heard "What do you have there" by considered a call and never have met anyone who has.
  14. I hope they bring in some new blood. I hope Matusow buys-in and puts his money where his mouth is. I would also like to see Ivey and Hansen play.
  15. WPT has banned deals ever since Paul Phillips and Mel Judah made a deal at the WPT Legends tournament in season 2. Deals at WSOP use to be highly common. In the 90's I would say around 25% to 33% events were settled in deals. I know some deals took place in non-TV events at the 2004 WSOP, but I haven't heard about any deals in the TV events at the WSOP.
