ColeSLaw 0 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 World Poker Tour Season III: Invitational at the CommerceJohan Storakers925,000 in chips10c 8cTom Everett Scott612,100 in chips6d 6cPreflop:"With the blinds at $8,000 and $16,000 with a $2,000 ante, Johan raised to $35,000 from the small blind. Scott reraised to $100,000 from the big blind. Johan called."Flop: 7s 7h Ks"Johan checked. Scott went all-in for $510,000. Johan folded."Analysis:"Scott won the hand with his aggressive play. With only $200,000 in the pot he could have made the bet smaller than he did and found out the same information. If he made it $300,000 Johan would have only re-raised with a better hand and Scott could fold if he was beat."Really? Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Anyone else think it would be hilarious if they tried to seriously examine a hand from Celebrity Poker Showdown? Link to post Share on other sites

mrdannyg 274 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 so am i reading correctly that the author is suggesting Tom bet $300K of his remaining $510K, then fold to a reraise? Link to post Share on other sites
jmbreslin 0 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Why the hell wouldn't Scott push PF with his sixes?Anyway, do you know who writes the commentary? Link to post Share on other sites
ColeSLaw 0 Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 so am i reading correctly that the author is suggesting Tom bet $300K of his remaining $510K, then fold to a reraise?Correct. It's a high-level play that centres on not calling 200k into a 1m pot. Link to post Share on other sites

Merby 3 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Why the hell wouldn't Scott push PF with his sixes?Ummm... no need.Look at the stacks versus the blinds: unlike most WPT final tables, they are deep-stacked here: Storakers has an M of 33 and Scott has an M of 21. There is no need to overplay a middle pair here. I think his pre-flop reraise is fine here. Link to post Share on other sites
Ouch-8s 4 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 so am i reading correctly that the author is suggesting Tom bet $300K of his remaining $510K, then fold to a reraise?who knew that loogie also wrote poker columns? Link to post Share on other sites
Ouch-8s 4 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 and is everyone ok with 300k into a 200k pot as a continuation bet, regardless of how much he had back? wouldn't say 125-175k do the trick? the only reason to bet 300k is to commit yourself, given his stack size.
