I have attached a screenshot of the hand below for those of you who dont have the energy to read the hand history (I am planning on getting a plugin to make the HH a bit more reader friendly).

There are many things i dont understand in this hand…

  • Why does Ziigmund go all in for $30 000 with 22 in a pot that is unraised?
  • Why does David Benyamine call with one player behind when holding a mediokre hand like 66?
  • What does OMGClayAiken think that the other two players have when he is calling with his AK off suit?
  • Why cant I ever win with AK against two low pocket pairs? :)

I dont usually sit on the rail and watch these games so maybe thats why i find this play a bit odd. If you have more experience and feel that they all played super great in this hand feel free to leave a comment and say that i am a retard :)
