who made the following play? part five

[DanielNegreanu 141]

fullcontactpoker.com/poker-journal.php?subaction=showfull&id=1130068278&archive=&start_from=&ucat=& I noticed a lot of discussion with people guessing who made the infamous Omaha H/L play, so I figured, why not do a poll about it! Ok so far we've eliminated, Johnny Chan, Ralph Perry, and "Tight" Jim. Johnny Chan: Omaha H/L isn't his best game, and he doesn't play it very aggressivley. He would definitely see the flop from the blind with J-J-7-3 but it he didn't flop a Jack he would dump it on the flop. He doesn't give his money away in this game and doesn't try to run people over in any of the limit games really. When Johnny is in there, he usually has a hand. Ralph Perry: Not many of you thought it was Ralph, but it could have been if he was stuck! Ralph is known as a "nitty" player that plays conservatively. In fact, when Ralph comes into the game he doesn't take his blind right away. Instead, he comes in in the middle so he can save a small blind and get an extra hand. That's nitty! Ralph might be capable of a play like that, but only if he is losing and steaming a little bit. Otherwise, he would never make such a play. "Tight Jim": Most of you would have no idea who Jim is. About two years ago I remember Jim playing anything from $30-$60 to $80-$160 hold'em. All of a sudden he is a regular in the $4000-$8000 game! Jim is an older gentleman that plays pretty solid. In fact, I'm not so sure he would have defended his blind with a J-J-7-3 since he generally plays premium hands. The next player off the list is:Abe Mosseri: No, it wasn't Abe. Abe is a real student of the game and can afford to learn at the highest levels. He is constantly asking questions like, "Would you have called? Why did you bet? What would you have done with my hand? Omaha H/L isn't his best game either, but he's not retarded or anything. He knows how to play well enough. I doubt he would make a play like this one, but I'm not sure I understand how his brain works just yet.

I'll stick with Elezra.Odd, I'm starting to get that feeling I get at the racetrack, when I'm cheering my horse on to the finish line.

If it does turn out to be Daniel, how many people will start claiming it was a brilliant play? That's the real question.

[Leafs 0]

it basically has to be Daniel.

[KoRnholio 2]

I've been voting for him all along We'll just have to wait and see..

I should be elected forum President. See how I sway forum opinion. I said it was Barry, and got a majority to vote that way, then I say it's Daniel and got a big chunk to vote that way. Must be the avatar, Pei Mei is intimidating.

You guys are probably right. It's just like I've already got a ticket in my hand, and I'm hopin my horse will show.

[teneight 1]

it was David B.teneight

[SuM827 0]

it was David B.  teneight

You think anyone knows enough about David to be shocked by this play?

[gatortom64 1]

As far as the alcohol lets me remember, it wasn't me... then again how did I get in this cardboard box???!!!!!!!!

[HurricaneKyle 0]

You guys are forgetting that many consider Daniel's best game to be Omaha 8 or better. I'm sure Daniel would tell you it is not one of his worst games.

[SuM827 0]

Awwww....... I usually just skim DN's blog. I just read the part where he says that "Omaha H/L is one of this guy's worst games". Omaha H/L is definitely not one of Daniel's worst games. so i guess I'm right back where I started..... Barry.EDIT: I suppose there is a decent chance it was Eli.

Stickin with Breakfast Man still...if he goes it's Daniel

[KowboyKoop 0]

I already informed everyone that it was Moneymaker. Case closed.

[GWCGWC 83]

I'm still saying Gray.Then again, the retard statement makes me think it may be DN.

Said Elezra from the first poll and sticking to my guns.

[Jennings7 0]

I said it was Eli Elezra and I'm sticking to it. I can't wait to be proven right so all the flamers will say "well your point was still terrible, you just got lucky you were right".
