  1. I don't think he particularly played them so he wouldn't go broke. What's confusing about reading this is that YANIRBI flat called with the absolute nuts on the river. WHAT THE SMEG IS HE DOING???!! CAOS009 value bet the river; can you honestly tell me that if YANIRBI had raised all-in that he wouldn't have called?Basically, what I'm saying is that if YANIRBI had done what he should have, CAOS009 was going broke.As far as the Main Event goes, set over set sucks. Not a lot you can do. The guy would have probably put his money in with jacks or better in that spot - no real way to put him on nine
  2. Yeah I'd be interested about Kirk Morrison too. My super dark horse of Bertrand Grospellier was HOPELESS!! And can I just moan about John Phan again?
  3. That is a team made up entirely of horses so dark they're almost black holes.Very frustrated at John Phan. Any chance at all he could have done well in an event that actually counts? Oh yeah, well done John for taking down 2 bracelets and getting me 0 points!
  4. I'd also check behind. I go with the idea mentioned before about it being a flop that you don't want to get raised on. On his shove, I doubt someone would push a flush draw in that spot that heavily. It looks to me as if he's instead protecting against any draws. My stab in the dark as to what he has would probably be TT. KJ is possible if he thinks you'd bet AsKs there I suppose. He really doesn't want a bigger straight or the flush to beat him but knows you'd have to lay down AK in that spot.Did you call the all-in? I'd be surprised if you weren't beat on the flop.
  5. This is probably a horrible play but I might call. UTG+1 may have a monster but I doubt CO will do. If both of these call behind (and there's a good chance they will) there's enough money in the pot to justify making this play in my opinion. The implied pot odds make it just about worthwhile. If you hit the flop, you're in the weird situation of acting first being a better position. Given the size of the button's preflop raise I'd expect him to shove on virtually any flop.Basically, I see just a call as a safer play than an all-in because if you hit the flop, the button's probably going all-in
  6. I said earlier it looks like you're beat, either with a set of 3s or the goofy straight. I think one of the reasons for this would be that top pair in this situation would lead out on either the turn or the flop. There's no way on a board like that you'd risk someone checking behind you and hitting their draw.
  7. Due to him not re-raising pre-flop I'd probably rule out KK or AA. Particularly just flat calling the flop with such a draw heavy board. My best guess would be a flush draw but it could easily be KJh that made a straight. I would check and hope he checked behind me. If he shoves I'd probably call but fold to say around 2000 or less (I think a shove would indicate a missed draw). I don't see the point of betting the river. You're only getting called by something that beats you on a board like that. He ain't calling with just a T there.
  8. Having not seen him play I'd find it hard to put him on a range of hands here but I suspect he would have re-raised with JJ or QQ from the BB. This is possibly the case with TT or 88 as well. I don't know. I can possibly see him having 33 and just flat calling the flop and then check-raising the turn. Also a chance of 97s I suppose. Like, I say I haven't seen him play so I don't know what range he would defend his blind with. If I was playing that hand I probably would fold although it'd be a hard laydown.My guess would be 97 but what he's actually got is irrelevant. What I can't think of is a
  9. Really should've thought of Michael Binger. Marco Traniello's also a decent idea given his amount of cashes. Ah well, bit late now! I'm one of the suckers who's picked Phil Hellmuth. He might have won all his bracelets in hold 'em but he has like, 13 final tables in other events. I actually don't think he's as much of a one trick pony as people make him out to be.I went for the usuals plus a few wildcards who I think might do well. Kirk Morrison's already been mentioned but I'm surprised no-one else (that I've seen) has said Kenny Tran yet. I've taken a risk as well with a couple of hold 'em g
  10. Why wouldn't you recommend it in online poker?
  11. I think you obviously need to win your share of coinflips but I can't imagine someone like Dan Harrington, for instance, getting in too many of those situations. It's possible to play small pot poker and build up your stack gradually even if you have various maniacs trying to shove pre-flop. Whilst you have to have the best hand hold up the majority of the time, the more skillful players can avoid getting in the situation where that has to happen quite as often. Also, they have the discipline to fold hands that they think might be ahead but don't want to take the chance for a lot of their chip
  12. I figured if I was going to wait that long I'd best make it worthwhile!
  13. I signed up to this forum ages ago but I haven't really ever got round to posting, but this thread is interesting so I'll dive in. Please don't flame me for having an opinion even though I haven't posted before So here goes with (brief) thoughts on the last 15 winners:1993 - Jim Bechtel: I think he was an amateur at the time but he made the final table in '88 as well and he's pretty respected. Making the $50k HORSE final table in 2006 would suggest to me that he wasn't a fluke!1994 - Russ Hamilton: Other people have already made pretty accurate remarks about Russ. I would say though, that he
