Anyway, flop comes Q-J-6. Matusow bets, Helmuth triples it. Hmmm, what might he have?
AA
QQ - trips
JJ - trips
66 - trips
QJ - Two pair
Q6 - Two pair
J6 - Two pair
10-9 - Open ended straight draw
7 possible hands that beat Matusow's hand, plus the drawing hand.
....
For a total of eight hands that will beat Matusow's lone Kings. (FWIW, Kaplan's commentary was dead wrong when he stated that the only cards Hellmuth could have that would beat Matusow were AA, QQ or JJ. I think two pair, full house and quads STILL beat a pair.)
Uhm, don't want to argue with you or something but what you totally forgot in your analysis is the preflop action.
Hellmuth re-raises Mike's 1800 raise to 7k preflop !! Should Mike then really give him hands like 109, J6, Q6, QJ, 66? I would say no....so there are only 3 hands left basically which Mike has to be afraid of and that is JJ, QQ and AA.
Kaplan was totally right with his statement.
I find it really stupid how they play the 7 2 so hardcore risking thousands just to win 500 from each player for a total of 4k. They risk more than they can win from each player by playing 7 2. Big fricking deal if you can bluff your opponent out and show 7 2. Stupid.
BTW, nice signature, but I had it first.
Sorry, didn't notice. Shall i keep it or I have to find another one?
