TheCinciKid 0 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 That last sentence isn't true, and like me, silky, and others have said, if he WANTS to play that way fine. The issue I have is with someone justifying it as a small ball tactic or a correct play. It is neither.Maybe what I said is a little strong, but I still think that in a $15K buy-in, there aren't many players who would be comfortable with the possibility of bubbling. That said, I'm not saying it's the correct way to play, I'm just saying that I doubt everybody would be quite so sure about going broke in that spot if they were actually in the hand. Maybe I'm wrong, hell I guess I'd probably go broke with a set of 6's in that spot. Link to post Share on other sites

Fluffdog87 2 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Going to The Real Deal show tonight at 10pm I went 2 weeks ago when Daniel did a show and it was pretty fun.My friend talked to Joe Sebok in the Fontana room tonight and he said he's going too. Gavin Smith and Scotty N. are the 2 players for the show.It costs $50 to go. If any other fcp'ers are in Vegas and want to meet us there it sounds like a fun time! Link to post Share on other sites

Gallo 1 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Ok, I'm lost again. Sorry guys. It seems that some are possibly arguing 2 points. Are people arguing why the money wasn't all in on the flop or why the kid didn't go all in on the river?-As far as why he didn't go all in on the river I think it has been stated that the kid was scared of being beat.-Why the money didn't go all in on the flop? I dunno. Kid was trying to slowplay and he didn't like the river. Either way I think he played it scared and wrong, imo. Link to post Share on other sites

Canary3 1 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Anyone have any updates on looshle or bkice? I checked the worldpokertour website and neither of them are listed. Link to post Share on other sites
TheCinciKid 0 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Anyone have any updates on looshle or bkice? I checked the worldpokertour website and neither of them are listed.I believe BKice is out, iirc his real name is Andy Seth and he busted shortly after the bubble. I haven't seen anything on Loosh on there, so it looks like he's still in at the end of the day. We'll likely get an update soon. Link to post Share on other sites
Tehtoe 3 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Pretty sure he's still in but idk, signed off aim a bit ago without telling me anything. Probably an update coming later Link to post Share on other sites
RDog 0 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Real name is Amit and his online screen name is Amak. No need to be a dick about it in his post. Pretty sure he wasn't joking.LOL, wtf. Link to post Share on other sites

No_Neck 0 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I hope this isn't a serious question. You just sound foolish trying to be a douche about it. He can technically be referred to by either. Just like Loosh is Justin or J.C. is PrtyPSux. Oh noez screen names!Wow WTF? Link to post Share on other sites

SCYUKON 0 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Don't know how many have read DN's smallball book but he says the right way to play is what other's consider to be weak passive - he calls it that himself in his latest blog. And rarely or never get it all in without the absolute nuts (unless short of course, but neither player was in this case).Same thing on the update link about Hellmuth, only time he had it allin was the last hand when he busted.I don't know, it seems the only time DN does not make a deep run is when he plays a big hand pf with ak, or gets it allin with 2 pair, like this time around. It's like when he makes a play like everyone endorses (including my old lord and savior Dan Harrington - in talking about the boogeyman under the bed i.e. laying down a set cuz you fear a larger set makes you an idiot) he gets busted or crippled, but if he keeps it small, like he discussed in his Day 1 blog, he goes deep.So the theme seems to be that the bubble fearing kid was the definition of weak passive, which is why all the successful tourney players are calling his play weak, and saying he does not have the stones for a 15k buyin, and the play was horrible.So I am thinking he was weak, but a true small baller would not have got it all in there either. Would be great to see what DN or Gus Hansen or Hellmuth would do. Kind of reminds me of the other thread about "The worst laydown ever" when 2 pair was laid down.Anyways, great fun reading all the to and fro on this from top players. Best part of FCP.
