The first hour or so had some great cards and a couple of moments - like Dario hitting a river straight. They got it to the point of nearly even among the 3 after that - but they all started to get conservative then. But in the last 2 hours it was crazy with tons of garbage starting hands and few collisions. With the chip lead Ensen just hit every bet that Dario made down the stretch and there never looked to be any hands to strike with.
I never saw Maahs fold pocket Ks pre-flop, and I watched a pretty high percentage of the action. I remember Livingston folding pocket Qs pre-flop after opening, getting called and then getting a three bet. There were still six at the table at the time. I thought that was a bit peculiar.Don't Noonan said:
Yeah I saw that hand and was surprised he folded QQs. Folding pocket kings at final table pre flop is crazy.
Yeah, sort of this. Dario was the caller with fewer chips. Gates was the 3 better who had a large stack at the time. He was third in chips at the time, but only had about $50 M. I think he figured "why mess with it at this point. There are three guys (one who was still in the hand) who could easily bust before me and I will hang on to my chips for now."
I'd probably just wear a pair of noise cancellers all night. That was beyond obnoxious.
Seriously? I thought the play was phenomenal. Dario put on a clinic about how to play shortstacked.
Darrio ran well for awhile and then he tried a few times to use that mo to bluff and got burned. It was kind of odd there were so many 4 2 vs 4 3, 10 3 vs 6 4 type of hands.
You could just...not invite a bunch of people?
They all have guys doing that for sure. I played with all the top players the last few days in that horse tourney. They were all talking back and forth about all the shares they owned of each other for the entire series. Guy sitting next to me had a streak of 8 years broken of having someone in the final 20.
In those HORSE tournies, are there players who basically auto-muck a game they don't play as well?
Or just doing hand analysis. Seems like you'd want to have actual coaches instead of a bunch of drunk jagoffs.
Yeah I’d be far more focused on the millions to win rather than the shtick.Counterpoint:
Lot more shtick opportunities with 10 milly.
Lol. So day 2 of the horse. I'm like in 5th place and aforementioned guy from long island is in second. We both agree if we made our final table together, that we would storm the main event final table about 75 steps away, naked.
Maybe in the 1500. Not the 3k. We had 301 in the 3k. I played with Negraneau twice, Henninger ,Clements and two other major pros at the same table. Jon Turner day 1. And busted sitting next to Krista friend, brendan shack Harris. And those are just the names I knew.
It's really not. The only people close to the table are the ones you see on tv and they aren't even that close. They have to watch the tv to see anything. On the other side, there's a lot of tv production equipment and a little stage for Ho and all.
These guys are so good that they understand that things happen and to quickly let them go.
