Wow what a hand that was..........

Barry is the luckiest guy Ive ever seen play.
And what a stone cold face he has.


I think they said he started symantec or sold his code to symantec so theres hope for us yet....:shocked:😀
 
I've never seen WPT. Is it as good as how World Series of Poker is done? I hated Celebrity Poker showdown...
 
chip went all in with a crap hand and 200K in chips....maybe J 5
then Jim, amateur player, had Q Q and called him
then Barry, chip leader, had A K and went all in with over a million in chips

Jim who clearly hand the best hand and knew it also had about a million in chips
He CALLED and the freaking flop was A K something :shocked:

The odds of that are crazy
I think Jim was a two to one favorite and lost it.
Barry got lucky all night long on the flops

One hand on the river Barry hit a flush while another guy already had a straight and was sure of the win......
Barry sucked him in and kicked his ass also

Ive never seen him play before but they kept saying hes the best in the business
 
How can Barry go all-in with million+ chips, when someone already went all-in with 200K? The most that Barry can go in is to match Chip's all-in of 200K.

Or are you just saying that Barry called the all-in of 200K, and you're just letting us know that he had about a million more to spare?

side pot reraise
Nope
Barry reraised Jim to all in........so it made a side pot next to chip's initial all in
Jim should have gone all in first so Barry probably wouldntve even played the hand.


Mazi:
Barry had two pairs A's and K's .......two pairs beeats a pair of Q's
 
In my last tourney (at the final table) I was holding A K. Stayed in for the flob with 3 other guys. Flop comes A A K (how often does that happen?). One guy goes all in, one guy out, another guy goes all in (less than the first guy), I was chip leader and called.

We all flip our hold card... The place went nuts seeing my hand (I stayed stone faced). Full house A's over K's. Knocked out two players that hand.

I ended up placing only second. 🙁
 
Jim wasn't quite a 2 to 1 favorite. Consider the odds.



If Jim has pocket anything, but his pocket anything is lower than both of his oponents cards, then he has only a slight odds. Something like 55 45.


Jim made the call because he knew he had the best hand at the time, and he was right. But the flop was sour and the milk he thought he had was no longer good to drink.

If Barry hadn't forced him all in pre-flop then Jim would have folded at the flop because those A and K on the board represented an ass-kicking for his pocket Q's

Thats what I was going to say. Big Slick is some players favorite hand.

It really isn't that unbelievable of a flop. With an AK in your hand, a flop with either an A or a K will put you ahead of almost any pocket pair (exceptions: pocket A, possibly pocket K, and of course 3 or 4 of a kind). Thus ignoring those exceptions (to make the math a bit easier) you have almost a 33% chance of having at least the highest pair after the flop. I don't consider a 33% chance unbelievable.
 
my cards are cursed. within the last 2 times i played poker we had:

1 royal flush (hearts) = my doom
2 four of a kind ACES - ON THE COMMUNITY CARDS
1 four of a kind (7's - me) i had pocket 7's, flop was 7, 2, 7. turn was a 2, and river was a 9. other player had a 2, sucked him in for everything he was worth.
 
AK is a small underdog to QQ but with Chip Reese's 200k already in there Barry has even better odds. You can check out www.twodimes.net and run any simulation you want. Now Barry made the move and pushing in first is always better than calling off your chips even if it was a hand as strong as QQ. Tourney poker is different from cash game poker as in cash game poker you take almost any edge +EV and run with it. In tournies it's sometimes proper to lay the best hand down as moving on up the pay ladder maybe advisable. In lots of poker forums this was discussed and many people felt CALLING was the wrong move, either you push in first and make the guy decide or you fold.
 
AK vs QQ happens alot. Its not uncommon. My worst sideline story was going into the final 2 tables with me being chip leader and they moved some second place guy to my table. Together, him and I had more than half the chips in the whole game. Then I pick up KK and he picked up 55. I made a raise, then he moved all in on me. I called and on the flop was a 5. After that, I was down so low, I couldn't recover. The blind just knocked me out of the game. But that's poker.
