pretty sweet.

I'm at a loss for words. Ivey's opponent was pretty much pot commited and Ivey's still moved-in! I really think Ivey thought he had the best hand.

This sums up my reaction:

well ya, that's wthe whole point. he totally knew. he's amazing.

How come no one thinks it's amazing when I think my Q8 is good?

That was definitely the sickest play I've ever seen in Poker. I think, though, that Phil must have seen some physical tell in Jackson, because you simply cannot infer Jackson's hand from betting patterns. Jackson's mistake, however, was not pushing all-in when he decided to re-raise; had he done that, we would be applauding him instead, because Phil would not call that bet.

Agreed. The last minraise was ridiculously bad.

It probably was, although a lesser player may have taken it as a sign of strength in Jackson's hand as if he were trying to slowly roll himself all-in. I couldn't have done what Ivey did, that was amazing.

I agree that it was a tough play, but think of it this way, the guy was relatively short stacked compared to Phil. He is looking for a place to get his chips in the pot, Phil comes out betting the flop, why would this guy raise if he had anything worth moving in with? Wouldnt he just let Phil hang himself instead of trying to take down the pot right there?

I would have to watch again, but the guy didnt raise much preflop correct? So why wouldnt Phil believe that his Q high is good? It is a great read and a lot of balls, but he had the chips to make that play.

Besides, say he doubles this guy up, who cares, he still owns almost anyone in the world heads up w/ a massive chip lead.

I'm not sure if thats really whats going through his head , but i do agree with you in that phil looks like a hero for making the play , and if he was wrong .... well i doubled the shortstack , oh noes1!.
