only poker players could lose money sponsoring products (lol polk for his too), but even more lol, phil is still wearing that stupid hat despite getting paid in those stupid coins didn’t immediately sell stupid coins like everyone else would’ve even if they’re into crypto, and despite all of that not being worth much at all and after being made mad fun of for it and not making any money out of it, is still wearing said stupid hat.
god, the guys in subway ads don’t take payment in subway sandwiches they don’t even want to eat anyway.
while lol phil for the hat in the first place, he’s right in the beef with polk, all he did was wear the stupid hat
hahah good for her for not falling for his bullshit and taking advantage.
You guys are wondering about the blind raise, but to me, it makes perfect sense. You aren’t seeing it through the lens of a female poker player. Guy probably has a bit of an ego, knows he’s on “tv”, and sees that the big blind is a rec player. Not only a rec player, but in his mind, a female rec who is probably just trying to ladder up at this point, so why not abuse her BB?
Look, this type of shit happens to ladies ALL. THE. TIME, main event or not. I’m in her spot? I’m looking at my cards 100% of the time and gleefully pretending I didn’t 100% of the time. Because I know what’s going on here.
except if he’s seen her play a single orbit before he’d know she’s not the trying to ladder up type at least form what I saw on the coverage she definitely wasn’t that type
that QQ fold was so awful. if youre gonna call a 9 mill 5 bet pre that board shouldn’t be so scary to fold to that c bet, right? he’s probably thinking he can’t just call it, and jamming feels gross, but if that’s the case, why did you flat pre??? if he’s afraid of AA/KK then why not fold pre? he’s afraid of just TT/99 getting insane with a 4 bet? tanking so long too is extra oof
I’m proud to say I’ve busted out of my last 3 big tournaments because I had his exact same hand and board against a set or bigger pair, I’d never make this fold! someone stake me for 2023 main
I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it’s an ICM fold. I’d probably call but I’d think about it, and if CO was abusing the bubble I’d call. If they were scared of the bubble it’s super close but probably a fold. If they are playing normally I think it’s a call but close.
Off a shorter stack it becomes an easier fold because the double up doesn’t increase your chances of doing anything but mincashing very much. That may still be the case here tbh.
