 How M. C. lost the WSOP, marion, 7. Aug 2002 19:53 | ||

| I just read your first article on poker pages. BTW, I've read and studied books by you and many other writers (thanks for the help). You ask for comments on the play of Ad, Qd following a small raisefrom early position. You just called and this is the same thing I would have done (have done in Tourney's). A,Q suited is a trouble hand for me (I've gone bust with it more than I like to remember). The pot is multi-handed (another problem, seeing the flop more than 3 handed - ugh). I usually prefer to get heads up NLHE (to many ways to be beat). $2700 in pot Flop comes down: Kd, Kc, 6d; next action seat six (original raiser) bets out $1400; your decision call. Hear is where I would differ: I look at Ad, Qd and I'm drawing for a nut flush, BUT the board is paired with K's. Do I really want to draw for a flush (make it on turn) and face any action. If I'm not beat on the flop, any diamond I catch or any other big card coming off lets me loose most of my stack. It's early in the 'T', and I have 12K+ in chips and plenty of time to look for a better opportunity. The 6th seat is short stacked and appears commited to this pot (he's put 25% of his chips). Why would a player put 25% in the pot if he plans to fold. The way I play and have seen others play the flop, if I connect big (under full-house, but no one re-raised pre-flop), figure I'm in the lead and trying to get as much money from other player in the pot. If I raise about 1/2 or less I'll get some action on the flop. If the turn is not to scarry, I'm all in hopinging some one catches their flush or continue with two pair. But I'm not real disapointed if they fold,since I win the pot and they don't have a chance to draw out on me. One of the writers I remember says, 'GET THE MONEY IN WITH THE BEST OF IT.' That's all you can ask for! | ||

| Realizing that the article is 4 years old brings to mind a question. Mike, since you have rejoined CardPlayer, are you continuing your involvement with PokerPages? I know it must feel like you have a lot of irons in the fire. Are you as good a juggler as you are a player? | ||
