SonicReducer 0 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Is it just me or is the play today Donktacular??Look at this hand:David Einhorn raises $150,000 from the cutoff and Dustin Holmes calls from the big blind. The flop comes 5s4d4s and Holmes checks to Einhorn who bets $250,000. Holmes then re-raises all-in for another $1,510,000. Einhorn counts the pot, thinks for a few minutes, and then makes the call. Einhorn shows Ac2s while Holmes flips over 65h. The turn and river bring the Qs and the 5d. Holmes fills up on the river and doubles up to $3,400,000.Raise with A2 off....ok. Flop bet .... maybe.But calling that re-raise???Plus earlier knockouts:an all in pre flop with A7 offAll in with 88? ok maybe...Allin with 55 no way. Link to post Share on other sites

AlexR 0 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Hey, these guys must be the best players in the world. It takes pure skill to hit gut shots and backdoor flushes for two weeks straight. That aint luck. Link to post Share on other sites

jjgoldy5 0 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 How's this for a theory: Einhorn misread his hole cards and thought he had A 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Flack_attack 0 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 What place did you finish?Right, he's not in therefore he cant criticize the current participant's play because it must be perfect. Calling all in with ace high must have been right. He's still in, you know. Link to post Share on other sites
Morphii 0 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I don't think the play was that bad. You have to take into account how Holmes was playing. Maybe he was really loose and playing and betting a lot of pots.Did Einhorn have a lot of chips that he can afford to gamble?You cannot look at the board out and say that was the wrong play. Holmes had a freaking pair 5's with a six kicker. To go all in is the stupid play not the other way around. Link to post Share on other sites
XXEddie 0 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 If Holmes had a had like KQ here, OP woulda probably made a thread about the terrific call Link to post Share on other sites

Balloon guy 158 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 The bluff call is one of the hardest things in poker to master.Don't hate the guy for doing the near impossible.Only someone like Phil Helmuth could have dodged that bullet. Link to post Share on other sites
