Poll: Was Ivey HOLLYWOODING?
(Vote): YES
(Vote): NO

lol durrrr looked like he was having a panic attack

Ya it must have been the lights or something he ate. He throws down 1/4th million bluffs llike it aint no thing.

Ivey was def close to calling. Most of those guys at that table try to keep the hollywooding down to an absolute minimum, just caz they are smart enough to know that it's bad for any game. Ivey is probably the last guy that would hollywood regardless of how much money is in the pot, he even announces that he "beats nothing"

seemed like he was just trying not to move and not blinking

Kinda wanna play durrr live now, he goes all in, wait a few minutes... ... I call! No but seriously I can relate, because I also spend a lot of time on the computer and in winter even the slightest breeze is gonna make me tear up like a schoolgirl.
Pretty sweet episode tho and I was kinda happy to see laak come in, not sure why tho...

Ivey just aint got balls thats all

it was an overdose of cortisol imo, durrrr is human you know

Dwan is god.

At first I thought everyone was talking about the 99 hand if Ivey was hollywood. Then I watch a little more and then holy shizznit!

I think Ivey was pretty sure Durrrr was on a bluff, it's just that most bluffs beat him. Pretty sure he was thinking about a call with the idea that Durrrr might have 89dd or 78dd which wasn't far from the truth.

I was honestly thinking that Ivey was contemplating a shove before he started talking. I think durrr has too many bluffs in his range that beat him, and there's a good chance u can fold out AK up to mid two pair.

Which is more likely: Tom Dwan, who bought in 600bb deep and is clearly comfortable playing extremely deep, is near tears because he is so profoundly terrified of getting a 400k river bluff snapped off, despite having been playing the highest stakes possible, live and online, for a number of years now or a combition of his position, the point he was staring at on the table and the lights shining on it caused his eyes to water in a situation where his every move will be studied by Phil Ivey, and he doesn't want to blink, rub his eyes or even move. seriously, don't be a moron.

Bro it's not about being terrified it's about being nervous. If he wasn't so nervous he would notice his eyes were bothering him and he would adjust his position. Your second point is identical to your first point so if you're going to give two choices as to how someone's acting don't give the exact same choice for both.

also people who play more online than live tend to be more nervous with physical chips in front of them even if the stakes are ten times lower than they normally play

Antonio doesn't say anything for 2 episodes in a row and then he can't shut up once Laak sits down.

wow soo disapointing that he didn't call!, i mean it's durrr, don't you just have to cling to your pair, close your eyes and call vs him? must be +EV if you do that everytime till he adjusts =p

couldn't durr have a LOT of J's in his hand, plus many diamond draws and random airballs like 98o , damn

edit : also you don't just fold after saying "this is gonna be the best call of all time" i mean wtf!, i was soo sure he was gonna call after saying that

i dunno how you brits display emotions but in the rest of the world teary eyes+red face+shaky voice means crying.

edit: moron.

anyone else find negreanu's play hideous?

negreanu is consistently the worst player on hsp
