Message: [QUOTE="Jacobalyrus, post: 1598215, member: 73801"] I'm still watching the early episodes of the WSOP Main Event 2010 (been busy rewatching Mizrachi's 50K Poker Players' Championship) so I haven't seen this yet, but what are the chances (based on Duhamel's range and aggression) that Matt put him on AA as well Pre-Flop, and thought about either a split pot or one of them hitting a lucky (but highly unlikely) flush, and therefore kept from shoving Pre-Flop because: he wanted to extract value and knew that he's either 1.splitting the pot (it's not impossible for Duhamel to also have Aces), 2.raking in the cash, or 3.risking allowing Duhamel to hit..? Cause I agree that in hindsight you can convince yourself it's a bad play after seeing the result, but it actually wasn't a bad play at all and Duhamel lucked out incredibly, but to be honest, one pair isn't such a good hand after the flop and turn have been revealed and maybe Affleck could've slowed down a little... I know that considering the circumstances, Duhamel was unlikely to play with 10s, or even Queens, but in my experience (admittedly mostly cash games in casinos) sometimes players put in a helluva lotta chips with a decent pair Pre-Flop and if they hit sets they milk you to death because it's hard to put them on such hands... Just wondering out loud what Affleck (who's obviously very talented considering his consistency for 2009 and 2010 Main Event runs) was thinking as he played the hand... Just as a point of interest, how often do you put your opponent on the same hand as yourself..? Oh, and hi to everyone. Yes, I'm new, but I've explored this site and it's already taken me in so much that I've forgotten about meals :) I'm digging it and hope to be on it regularly as a member who's learned a lot from it and gives something back sooner rather than later...
