Just watching an episode of HSP and would like to know your thinking behind this hand.You had a pair of 10s against Sam Farha's pocket aces. What made you lay it down?

Simple really, TT<AA

[DanielNegreanu]

I actually have some distinct tells on Sammy and can usually tell when he is bluffing. I knew he wasn't bluffing that time based on a tell, so if he wasn't bluffing, and played the hand the way he did, he had to have me beat.

Weren't you out of position, too? I think it's a pretty standard lay down against a lot of opponents at a lot of levels, other than to play for set value.

I picked up that tell to. The early position raise, then when u reraise on the button and from early position he 4 bets it, usually not many people bluffing there. To me it's the most common 'tell'.

From what I can tell sammy pretty much never puts in three raises pre-flop unless he has a monster hand. Granted I really dont have extensive knowledge on the guy though. but generally he seems like a guy who likes to put it in on the flop if he is going to gamble with deep stacks.

Name a winning player that routinely puts in the three raises with air.

That's not nice. He had himself all impressed with his insight.

[silkyjonson]

look losers a lot of people see Farha playing crazy and would assume that he does this pre-flop also so I was pointing out that that is definetely not the case. And if either one of you would like to play heads up, I will do it in any game you would like other than any draw games and we can set it up for some time this weekend. Let me know and lets take it to the felt, I play mainly on bodog but I can bring some money back to fulltilt and we can play heads up freezeouts HORSE included.

didn't kido pham put in a fourth preflop raise against hachem in a tourney? Not trying to argue, this just brought back memories of "6 high flush draw? You called me with a six high flush draw? That's just sick dude." LOLLERSKATES at Ricky Zilem...

Actually the most common tell is, "HEY!!! LOOK AT ME!!! I'VE GOT TWO LETTER As IN MY HAND!!!!"

routinely was the key world there. Every poker player here has put in 3 bets at some time in a hand with absolute air. or at least i would hope they have.

Geez.....I was going to write , "You need pottery to get a personal response from Daniel" and the man himself goes and ruins it for me.
