This is how a pro plays?

Someone please explain to me how hachim calls this. A pretty significant reraise is called, how can he possibly think this is a good shove? Maybe hoping the "team pokerstar hit" would help him here?

Ask our resident pro....

Thanks for asking.

A professionals thought process in this situation, is that he wants to intimidate the opponent so that he thinks "holy fawk, im playing against hachem" and lays down his assumed marginal hand.

In this particular instance, it failed for joey and he got owned.

Thanks for the question, and feel free to ask any other pro related questions.

Well thank you Hobbes.... Actually Hachem is playing the meta game.. The money means nothing to us.... He's setting action up for future games..












Actually I have no idea, looks pretty donkish to me.

Because Joe Hachem is a terrible player who happened to luckbox his way through the main event.

Of the Tilt pros I have played against, I think I have "bad to terrible" notes on all of them.

I remember Eli Elezra hosting a miniFTOPS a while back, there was no way he was not holding back, he was involved in every single pot at made some pretty retarded moves
