Because it’s so low variance, I don’t think it’s as expensive as you think it is. It’s borderline ok depending on how folks play QQ against that size rip. Most of the time it simply gets through.

If every position calls QQ (but fold JJ) it’s +800 or so chipEV (basically neutral) and -$1500 EV out of a ~$40k value stack.

Bad river and turn plays easily dwarf it because the stakes are so much higher on those streets. And bad pre calls or re-shoves because variance is so much higher

He had pocket 6s though lol one of if not worst plays in wsop history n it got rewarded polk was making fun of the dude lol
 
Chance is certainly tough. I’ve only played him once and he didn’t seem to want to be in pots with me so maybe he couldn’t get much off me. I dunno. Big live read guy. I’ve applied for his coaching and never heard back. Lol. Maybe he doesn’t want to give those population tendencies out easily…they are worth a fortune.

Guess it depends on how you measure worst. I heard different commentary…mostly they needling about the fact that he bad beat a guy and then proceeded to rant about how bad he runs and then he way overreacted about 3 bb in an AQ vs QQ battle. Doug Polk also pointed out if you were paying attention that he was playing way too tight against the perceived range of that 33bb shove…makes it better than you realize.

ok well whatever it just blows my mind that someone would do that with pocket 6's with 7 people infront of you still to act and he almost got away with it

but I dont care no world should you shove 36bb's into a 2.5bb pot with 6's

guy just went insane for a second and he should have got busted for it

you may be very good but I am sure Chance wasn't afraid of you or anyone in the world in Hold Em LOL meaning I am sure he just didnt have much when you were in hands or something cause that dude is def one of the best players in the world

Worth noting that 217k plays a lot shallower with the Ante as it is 3k/6k 6k But yeah, cold ripping with 66 there is ambitious.

I gave you the #’s, guess we can just wait for a week for Doug to do a breakdown on it, and come away with “not good play, but with as tight as people are reacting to that perceived range, not as bad as you think”

ive been watching since 2002 playing since 2002 I can't recall anything that crazy before lol and there has been alot of dumb moves people have made over the years
 
Really surprised they aren’t doing hand for hand today with only 10 eliminations needed. It’s a $15000 bubble.

Edit: looks like it’s hand for hand with 3 eliminations needed.

Interesting and wild ICM spot just aired. Avg stack is 65bb.

(Extremely) LAG BU opened to 3.3bb off 120bb stack
Superpro BB 3! AKs to 10.5bb off 105 bb stack
BU jams somewhat quickly for a 105bb effective jam
BB quickly calls.

Call looks tough under ICM…as I’m typing this the superpro is doing an interview and is definitely second guessing

Such a crazy spot.

How did Rigby lose so much of his stack? That VPIP finally caught up to him?

Spread out over 100ish hands lol. Still has 22 bigs headed to day 6 certainly not out. The day 5 players were better adjusting to his style, and this day is one of the lower pressure stages with very gradual and tedious pay jumps. And it’s worth noting, while he is way too loose and aggressive, he is not giving it away. I’m hoping to get to see him with around 2 table remaining when the pressure ramps back up.

I have watched A LOT of the first 5 days. I think pokergo has been giving us 12 hours per day for the past few days and there's just no way to keep up with that, so I haven't seen everything. That said, here's what I think about Rigby - he's very good at what he does, which is pretty much simply daring people to put more and more chips in the middle. He seems great at reading people and has great instincts. All that said, it's been my impression that he's also been very lucky up to this point. And that isn't really revolutionary talk - you don't make the final 150 out of 10,000 without getting lucky; everybody still alive has been lucky.
But yes, other players have definitely adjusted to his style, and his luck has let up a bit in the last day or two.

He’s definitely makes the streamed table interesting…it’s been great poker to watch.

Big fan of Ali and Nick Schulman’s interactions in the commentary booth. The night shift is excellent

Oh Schulman's the best. He just has a way of saying things. Like when Rigby was annoyed with Livshitz, and Schulman just flat out said "Rigby wants to punch him in the face." Well put. Totally true.
Ali babbles and rambles to try to be funny and to fill airspace, but he manages to not be annoying. Partly because Schulman keeps him in check. They're a great team. Contrast Ali with whatever idiot was in the booth with Maria and Lon yesterday, who kept trying to be funny by playing stupid - like not knowing the meaning of the word philanthropist. That guy was the worst. I wish I knew his name.

It’s Will “Dankness” Jaffe the “tough conversations” Twitter guy. Also hosting the WSOP pregame show which I’ve watched none of.
 
I’m not putting up $10k to play a donkament, but if I did, it certainly wouldn’t be to lay down kings pre in a BTN vs BB situation.

I am as well. Schulman especially is superb. Makes me wanna grab a pokergo sub again.

Thanks. It's interesting - I don't know if he's new at this or what. I found him horribly unfunny when he was trying to be funny. But there were a couple of times when he was just responding genuinely that he made me smile or even laugh. So maybe he just needs more practice.
 
Gonna pick a couple people to root for each day.

Today are two short stacks:
Fausto Valdez (128th, 18bb) for chip pics. Fausto hates spots aligned in stacks, thinks they’re nitty. The nice thing is he calls them out to shame them. So if you, as I do, LIKE the aligned spots and pretty neat stacks, he’s worth a follow to get a steady stream of these beauties.

Nate Silver (109th, 26bb) for his off-the-felt analysis. He’s founder of 538, they have some decent stuff over there from sports to politics. And he’s quite easy to root for, comes off as a very skilled rec. Yesterday he bet a million on the river and after the hand chuckled at the insanity of how rare it is as a rec to bet a million at WSOP, certainly endearing

And what’s poker without a heel to root against?
How about Alec Torelli (78th, 45bb) for that silliness with the big chip behind stack routine from however many years ago. Seems like a good enough reason

Day 6!!
