putting in 130k on that board w/ T9 is anything from just another hand

Near the bubble too so her range is huuuuuge.

Just a quick observation - not about the hand, but about the type of responses these threads seem to get. Had the result of this hand been that Annette hit her straight, there would be about 40 posts here, most which would contain some version of "Annette pwns" in the text.

And many would say that this guy was an idiot for calling with only a 9 kicker and that he deserved to lose for making such a bad play.

I just think these are a lot more fun to read when people stop kissing the top player's asses and actually have honest discussions on their play.

I didnt see anyone kissing anybody's ass in the thread. Most said his call wasn't bad considering they were on the bubble and her range is so huge in the cutoff.

i posted it not to kiss ass i don't even know the girl. I just think it was an intresting hand from both spectrums.

She had just won a huge pot before this hand and the other player was dominating the table. It just shows they both played the player he felt she had air and she was semi bluffing. i thought when playing for 250,000 it took guts on both parts to make the raise (anette) and the call (other guy)

If you think Annette is better than Hellmuth you need to have your head examined

in addition

This is not a sick call
"Heart" or "guts" do not win poker tournaments, nor do Matusow like blowups

Could you show me where getting into a pissing match with a bigger stack is a good idea again? If you want to slob her proverbial knob, fine. But this is poker discussion, not why I have an online crush on some chick I'll never meet who happened to make a horrible, -ev play forum

We're all glad you took the time to relate how "awesome" Annette is and how she would "school" Hellmuth. Thanks for enriching all of our poker lives.

are you really serious??????

m@dmonk you sure do like to live up to the mad part of your screen name.

why dont' you try taking things in the context of what is written as well as the spirit in which it is stated and read another poker book or something to pay tribute to Mr. Hellmuth if you love the guy so much. You obviously seem to have a hard on for him.

where in any part of any of my statements that you are so seriously addressing is the "quality" of the play mentioned or a comparison of Annette to Hellmuth???????

I do think annette is a fantastic player. She is a nice kid and has gotten to where she is because she knows how to take calculated chances and put pressure on other players accordingly. I certainly don't need to defend the play which I didn't in any way. Nor did I mention any reference to "schooling" Helmuth.

I just like the standard Hellmuth tirades after he goes out of a tourney. Heck who doesn't ????

so go enrich your poker life anywhere you like . I hear Phill's wife is taking new clients!

If u think thats a standard call, ur a callingstation. That pot was for 2nd place with 400! ppl left on the BUBBLE

Pretty sure I would have called her with 2's there, I watched the whole hand and her betting made no sense and screamed a draw. Thank you for your time...flame away since we all kiss annette's ass anyways.

The general consensus seems to be bad play on her part, feel free to read the thread again.

i was joking a bit, but the bubble, and your rep for being very aggro make this a pretty easy call. you button raise with any 2. your opp obv wants to induce a bluff by letting you bet the flop. he value bets the turn and makes a pretty easy call of your RRAI.

No disrespect. I like your Opp's line here.

He never fires back preflop on on the flop so exactly what is he going by for a read?

past experience, understanding her style, etc.

Basically i am saying her opp knew she was playing ATC here(which she was). Knew she was trying to abuse the bubble(she was). He decided if he hit a peice of the hand(TP qualifies), he would let her stack off if given the oppurtunity. Again, i was stretching a bit when i said standard, but i don't think this call is all that sick.

And Annette's post here shows imo why. She was pressuring here for pressure's sake because he had to fold all but the strongest hands. Her Opponent knew she would play this way and reversed it. multi level thinking, not sick, not standard, poker. He played poker. I am not saying he is better than annette. I am not advocating a call all the time, or annette pushign all the time being bad. All i am sayiong is the guy outplayed her in this particular hand this one time.

And the fact that he had a bigger stack imo DEF factored in. She couldn't send him home. if he was wrong, he would be short, but he would be in.

worst post ever. simplifying this hand to her holdings is rediculous.
