Ivey raises. Daniel Negreanu re-raises light and makes a somewhat silly racial slur. Phil Ivey pushes. Daniel Folds. Ivey returns the favor. Beautiful!

Eli Elezra screws up the game. http://mypokerheros.com/blog/phil-ivey-and-allen-cunningham-eli-elezra-screws-up-the-game/ http://mypokerheros.com/blog/phil-ivey-and-allen-cunningham-eli-elezra-screws-up-the-game/#comments Sun, 11 Oct 2009 09:52:29 +0000 admin http://mypokerheros.com/?p=73 Eli Elezra screws up the hand for Allen Cunningham in my opinion. Phil Ivey takes advantage, and Allen loses 5k.

Phil Helmuth and Tom “Durrr” Dwan face each other a few times, Bob Safai has a go and then Phil Laak seems to be all over the place.

Whenever Dwan is at the table, he seems to rattle the players a bit and they don’t play normal poker – that’s because Dwan has an ultra aggressive style that is often not out of a poker strategy book. Laak plays a few crazy hands and does things that he wouldn’t normally do, he gets real lucky to take a hand from Dwan with bottom pair. Even he admits that he is a Donkey in this game!

One thing about “Durrrr” is that despite his aggressive style, he still reads the situation very well. The way he gets out of a hand against Helmuth, who flops a flush, makes you realize he is very aware. Perhaps Helmuth’s bet on the turn was too high and he could have waited until the river to bet, but still the way Dwan just got out immediately was impressive! Read any good casino winning strategies and they will always tell you to be aware of your situation, to hold or fold where necessary.
