WOW

I just can not believe he folded that hand.....he had near 35k $ in their already, i believe. He had the 2nd nut flush. Can you really give that up for only 37k more? He wasn't pot committed yet, but I mean come on, you have enough money in their. How can he put ivey on a pocket pair their. I would've thought maybe JQ?AJ? That was probably what mike was worried about that A high flush. I just can not believe he folded....ivey is just an animal at cash games.

The only reason why that play worked is that Mike is a great player capable of making a big laydown. No way is that working in a micro-limit table.

No it worked because Mike is staked and is scared money in that game

You know, asking yourself the question "what will do I if I get raised" is often a good idea before betting the river in position.

I think Mike played this hand well preflop and on the flop. The turn is debatable and depends on what he knows about Ivey's tendencies, but the river is only good if Ivey sucks. Which, from what I hear, he doesn't.
