| Re: 8/1 WSOP Circuit When I saw that, I said to myself, "no heart," because I hate losing to people who push too hard with draws and suck out on me with trash. Then I realized, "Oh wait, it's against, Zilem. Come on heart!"
He was terribly annoying to me.
To comment on the KK/J10 hand.
AQo is good enough for a standard raise. Kido reraises holding J10o. Hachem hesitates, with two raises in front, and seemed to make a low raise for the situation, fearing AA. It was almost as if he made that raise to guage his standing, rather than to establish his strength. He raised 50k to 150k, if I'm not mistaken. In real-time, I considered if Kido picked up on the hesitation and was trying to represent aces. However, I'd never actually follow through with that play, because I'd never realistically believe a player holding kings would credit me with aces.
Kido's all-in move was the 4th raise in total. If the third raise is often aces, then surely the 4th raise is aces.
I consider these wild scenarios sometimes, if I limp with rags and then reraise, but don't go all-in, could I get jacks or better to fold? I've never actually found a scenario, where you could apply the stone-cold bluff on a 4th raise pre-flop.
When Kido was talking about Moneymaker with Hachem, didn't he say that he thought Hachem wasn't a fluke and implied Moneymaker was? Norm Chad seemed to take it like Kido called Hachem a fluke, but that wasn't my interpretation of his comment. Later in the episode, Kido actually said in the side room that he felt Hachem wasn't a fluke. I was confused about that first comment, though, which Norm Chad scrutinized. |
