who made the following play? 2-7 final two

[DanielNegreanu 141]

As promised, here is another opportunity to test your knowledge by figuring out who made the following play: http://fullcontactpoker.com/poker-journal....rt_from=&ucat=& Read the triple draw hand that I played and then vote for who you think my opponent was. For those of you looking for the answer to the other poll, I created a new forum called, "Who Made the Following Play," and the answer is there. Just three players remain, and now it is down to two. The next player to go is:Eli Elezra: Eli is a very good triple draw player. In fact, Eli has great overall poker sense and plays all of the games well. Some may not agree with me, but when it trying his best he can be very tough to play against. While Eli, likes to play a lot of hands, I don't see him defending his blind in this situation. Phil Ivey: Well that should make things interesting! No, while Phil is a habitual blind defender he doesn't cross the line of playing fundamentally solid. He is certainly capable of playing a Jack that way after the second draw, but Phil would not have been there in the first place. Johnny Chan: If you were paying attention to the description I gave in the previous poll on Johnny, you would know that it wasn't him. Johnny plays conservatively and is always in there with a hand. Rather than defend his blind with a piece of garbage hand, he would throw it in the muck and move on. Triple draw is a game that if you play mechanically you can still win. Johnny does just that and it's a good strategy in most games. Ralph Perry: Not too many of you choice Ralph Perry and it was a good decision. One thing you won't see Ralph ever doing, is drawing three to a hand without holding a 2. Big blind or not, Ralph is too conservative to ever play this hand. His triple draw player is relatively straight forward, but if anything, he plays the game on the careful side for sure. Jennifer Harman: 2-7 triple draw isn't a game whenre Jennifer plays very creatively. Also, she would likey have folded before the flop rather than draw three cards to a hand like 5-7. Triple draw isn't one of Jennifer's favorite games, but she plays it conservatively and doesn't get too involved with hands like the one described.

Ive been saying Abe all along. Keith you were wrong...

yes, I was. I was looking at it more from a positional standpoint as eli would be in the BB if DN was opening late, but, abe would be in teh small blind if DN was opening late, so, even though my tired ass just voted for chau, I now think that it was abe

Doesn't this have to be Abe?Daniel was seat 3, Chau was seat 5 and Abe was seat 6. Daniel said he raised and was called by the BB. He didn't mention anyone sitting in seat 4 (Chan and the stranger joined after Chau left), so if it were Chau, Daniel would be the SB. The mystery player acted first, so it must be Abe.Of course, if there was someone in seat 4 that Daniel didn't mention, this doesn't work. He may have raised 267 from the CO, having seen three of the 2's.

Irregardless of anything he wrote in SS2, anyone at this level would open raise 22267 from any position. It's way t o good to fold and there's no reason to ever limp before the draw.

while true, to be called with the hand that called, it hints towards a late open raise from DN
