Poker questions?

Anyone watch the Final table of the Main Event the other night?  The final table is usually a big let down, but that was actually pretty excellent.

Yeah, the winner got extremely lucky there.  Among the final three, I'd say he was the worst player, but he's the one who won.

Joe Cada got lucky before he got into the final 2.  But once they were heads up, he was clearly the better player.

Both Cada and Moon got extremely lucky.  But to make it that deep in a field of over 6000, you have to have more than a few lucky breaks.

I was actually pretty impressed with Cada's play.  Moon, on the other hand, was pretty readable.  He was overly aggressive almost every time.  Then he tried to get cute and pretend to slow play a hand, only to overbet on the turn.  Cada DID make a very good read; he sensed that Moon was overplaying his hand.

Moon also made a lot of Donk bets. 

Cada is definitely the superior heads up player.  But give Moon credit.  Most of the time, his expressions are pretty tough to read.  And he's so unorthodox, that he's probably very tough to play against.

So anyone know if Edgar won enough money to send us all some good, freshly grown El Salvadorian coffee for all that great free advice he got?

That was my take - Cada sucked out repeatedly to make the final 2, but was the superior player headsup.  That all-in call against Moon's straight draw was a very tough play in that situation.

It seemed like Moon had a clear strategy at the FT to frequently push players all-in, which actually makes some sense - if you don't think you're good enough to outplay guys, make them make a decision for all their chips, and even if they call, luck will still play a big role in who wins.  It's actually tougher to play against a bad or mediocre poker player than a decent one, because better players are often more predictable and readable. That was Moon's big advantage headsup - he played very erratically and was hard to read.

10 dollars  ahh and a bottle of rum

half of the night straight poker
next half a Salvadorean black Jack.

Not a bad night only a slow one


I score the only two pokers of the night 4s and 6s
and AA in 21 twice. ( that pays triple here)

Cool! 

I'm not familiar with Salvadorean BJ, but it sounds like fun. 

Now go read those books, start playing holdem, and then let us know how things go!
