Choron took some heat for a long time for that beat.....he followed that up with an all in call with a-10 against a-q preflop for a third of his chips and turned a straight. He's a gambooler that's for sure.

It was a big raise from the BB, screaming I have a pr, go away. He is flipping if called (assuming a pair) and will make most hands go away. There was no possible reraise he could make without pot committing himself. So it is allin or fold. What is BB most likely holding?

Congrats Glen!

DrTyore

Huh...

Maybe Choron "life-tilted" someone

Mark

Choron

TT hand:

1) can't put him on a set ever on that board
2) i have a big draw versus any paired hand and equity to get my money in first
3) i owed him one for busting one of my horses in ~30th ish in a 5k wsop NL event this year.

AT:
1) priced in to call no matter what

Choron

thanks very much by the way guys

Fludlerk

Congrats! Always love to see the board members win (as long as they're not taking MY money. lol)

Hey Glen,

First of all, congrats.

When you say you can't ever put him on a set, is that strictly because of the board, or because of knowledge a to how he plays? If it's strictly because of the board, I'm wondering why that is? He's in the BB. Is it because you'd expect a reraise preflop, or maybe by his play on the flop?

Just curious.

Both the check raise on the flop and the call out of position in the BB with two tens against ME and my raising range in late position = he's not going to have pocket tens or pocket nines played that way versus me very often here.

The play is kind of interesting because the obvious thing to do on that flop with a set would be to check raise but I didn't think he would so hence I was thinking i had more cards to improve my hand versus his than I actually had. But its all good I got lucky...

He laid a sick beat on my horse when my horse had AA against his q9(q high flop check called turn 9 to make top 2 after getting 3 bet PF) sick...Ps he won a bracelet so let's not feel sorry for gunning4u

philliivey

just watched the replay of the final table, ummmmmm, errrrrrrrr ya is all i can say, why was i not on that table, lol, i bet #1pen is your favourite opponent now after calling with q3 off.:)

also loved jcardshark aka john little with 1.6 mill calling all in against the bigger stack:).

but you seemed to tight on a couple of hands, but i am sure you had some kind of read on em.

JimmyHo

maybe a stupid question Glen, but at these levels, do most of the players have pokertracker, etc. running when you are playing in a big online tournament? just wondered if you play more like live games (gut feel) as you might find it more of a distraction after now moving over to live tournaments.

Choron

I was in Cannes, France while playing this wcoop with a lot of famous poker players from Poker Battle. When I was down to 4 handed like 20 people came into my hotel room and my play deteriorated with the distractions which is very sad to me but its all good. I never should have trapped with two jacks against #1pen and I should have seen thru the check raise with 78 from DuckU. That is pretty much it. I never had any real hands at the final table(only 3 big ones and I was involved in big pots with them every time so I can't complain about the action just the lack of real premium hands where as guys like dorinvandy had them left and right.) Its pretty sick...

No, I dont use pokertracker. Yes a lot of people have that stuff running during big tournaments. I play both live and online but am more of a feel player(I still know all the math i have to know). I don't find a program telling me the tendencies of my oponnents to be very fair for others since my brain can already do that( your's should too!)

thanks for confirming that; I don't play much online but the couple times I have used pokertracker, I really found it didn't help my game. It more interfered with my decision making as I was making decisions based on the program stats and not my own gut feel. I think it would be more useful to analysis my own play (off-line) than to make decisions on the fly, live. Especially with the very seconds you have online to make a decision.

Always wondered how the pros operated.

actyper

I don't use PT anymore myself, but since you don't really play too much online, I wouldn't use it as a hud actively until you have built up a database. Most of your figures would be skewed due to the minimal number of hands played.
