  1. referring to Rizen's opponent....so this is the donk play of the day, or a genius move. You be the judge.

  2. Donk play for sure.
     
  3. Looks kinda crazy but he did have the best hand the WHOLE way. Maybe he had a read on Rizen?
  4. So if Russ somehow puts Rizen on the 6-7, and knows Rizen is pot committed, and makes this move anyway, he is still 50-50. I'd say the guy just said whatever and went all in.

  7. I watched it, and the guy thought for about 10 seconds. I mean this is a 100 NL too, not exactly a $2 turbo or something. Kind of silly. Not that $100s are all good players, as evidenced by this early hand Rizen doubled up with...but still:

  9. Exactly, the guy barely had best hand here. It's a horrible move unless he puts rizen on low cards with no draw what so ever.
  10. Sooooooted?

    Just awful stuff.
