Introduction

Thanks Leon, and thanks for the kind words on the Wagner. I do love that card.

And yea that sounds like an interesting book. He did seem to get pretty lucky in a lot of key pots. I don't remember exactly how the action went pre-flop in that hand with Ivey, but if I remember right it was 99 vs AQ and he probably called a re-raise preflop. I don't know how you fold 9s to a player you view as weak to a 3 bet. Obviously when the money went in on an AA9 board neither player was getting away from the hand. Ivey was probably 75-85% to win that one depending on if it went in on the flop or turn. But yea a terrible beat to go out in 10th like that. I think rather than driving to atlantic city I would have walked to the nearest bar and pounded a few beers.

The hand was AQ vs. 99. Ivey just called pre-flop; he didn't three-bet. Flop came QQ6 and Moneymaker bet his three queens. Ivey hit a full house with a 9 on the turn, only to lose to a bigger full house with the ace on the river.

I apologize for hijacking your introduction thread into a poker discussion, but I have wanted to bring up the topic ever since I first saw your name on here.

No problem, other than just to introduce myself to those who don't know me I'm sure one purpose of these intros is to get a discussion going an meet fellow net54 members. My two hobbies are card collecting and poker and I enjoy talking about both.

Greenstein's criticism makes more sense in that context but I would have probably called one bet on a qq6 board with 9s as well and obviously would have felt great on the turn.

I don't know which one is worse, Ivey's loss in 10th with that ace on the river, or the guy last year who lost AA vs AA in the million dollar buy in a few short of the money.
