Message: [QUOTE="blankoblanco, post: 983379, member: 11119"] thoughts on some hands: dennis phillips played the AK vs. AQ hand so astonishingly badly. that donk 1/4 pot lead into the 4bettor on the wet board texture looks like exactly what it is. dennis is neever ever in a million years doing that with AA/KK or a set. dennis always either bets big when he has the joint, or he checks to slowplay. still, it took a ****load of guts for ivan to push his double gutter under that kind of pressure. i don't agree with his 4bet preflop though, after dennis limp-reraises, AQs shrinks the way craig and scott went out were both pretty brutal, even though the percentages weren't hugely in anyone's favorite pre-flop. just the way the board came out combined with all the money at stake and the psychological mind**** of it all. such a sick 1 outer! and he called it too! ylon's laydown with the K-high flush was great. i thought about the hand, and i totally understand why he did it. when ivan raises the turn, he's really polarizing his range between the nuts and air. Q high flushes and worse are just obviously never raising because they stand to get action only from better hands and fold out all worse. so once he does that, combined with the suckbet on the river, it looks like it's almost impossible for it to be a bluff. given the aforementioned polarization, he has to have exactly the ace of hearts there incredibly often. so much so that i don't know if the board pairing even mattered that much ivan's laydown of top two pair to the very aggressive eastgate had me floored. the way the hand played, that was really amazing [/QUOTE]
