Youtube pokers clips and some questions..

Why would she RAISE with a 6 7 ??
I mean, she does hit the straight, but isn’t that an idiotic raise?


Interesting to see how many people stay in with 2 high cards that never pair.
K Q, etc. Just plowing money into the pot hoping for a match......
Seems stupid, as they get beat by a low pair.....most of the time.


This might be the craziest hand I’ve ever seen.
What would possess him to fold?

Why does Farha fold?
What does he think Moneymaker could have with his all in?
7 10 for the straight?
3 of a kind?



Just watched this compilation.
Nice way to see many hands.

From this viewing, I’ve really internalized this lesson:
Value of high card in small tables (no one has pair)
Value of pocket pairs against no pairs..
Lots of pocket pairs taking the pot when it’s head to head (and most people at the table fold)
vs. lots of suckers going all in with 2 face cards. (even pros.....#1 way to knock yourself out....)
Seems like AK or AQ or whatever....low odds to make a match. (Or only 50/50 against a pocket pair)
You’ll win if no pairs on the table, and it’s high card.....But tough call to check-raise with only unmatched face cards.

First hand: 4-handed so imo, nothing would constitute a stupid raise. When she gets 3b by the button, she should fold, so that was a bad call but I guess it worked out for her.

Second hand: Sick read. Sick fold.

Third hand: They didn't show the hand til the river but when Moneymaker ships it Farha's tp med kicker is pretty much a bluff catcher. There's plenty of straight, flush or two pair combos that beat him. Only mistake he made was not catching the bluff imo.

first its hard to say whats good or bad to do because poker is situational and we don't have enough evidence to say they made good plays in hands 1 and 3. hand 2 was just freakishly good read!!
