Most boring final table of all time?

blumenfield getting hit with the deck

He was getting hit with the deck all tournament. At least the hands they showed on tv. That's why everyone is respecting his raises and foldind good hands. If you based opinion off earlier coverage his reraising range is QQ+. Obviously he had coaching since July and he\she probably said your image is super tight and to take advantage of it. His transformation is impressive.

[Ratpack]

well supposedly someone told stern if he keeps stalling he would get a penalty so expect tonight for him to speed things up a little bit

[FlipsideRM]

Someone please bump this thread at 8 so i don't forget

I'm sure that drove ESPN crazy. Not good at all for tv but is imperative to keep around the same pattern for every hand or else you might as well turn your cards face up when playing against good live players. At least in terms of good hand or bad hand.

I wouldn't call it stalling either. They are the only table. There is no reason to stall.

[FlipsideRM]

I understand stalling in certain situations but half of his folds were preflip with 6-3 off suit and crap. Just fold and stop wasting everyone's time

[FlipsideRM]

McKeehen should have no trouble winning this now? With 90k in chips, next closest is what 30k?

That's easy to say from a viewers standpoint but if this was my one chance to possibly win 7 million , I'd evaluate every possible action every hand also. Fck whether the tv coverage likes it or not. The point is to make it indiscernible whether you're raising with 6-3 off or AA.

Yeah plus he is very good at end game . It only takes one QQ or KK to run into AA and then someones even.

a lot of poker pros calling for a shot clock for final table for years now, probably 100000x more now after this stern show. I actually thought it made him look MORE predictable. Everytime he has a hand he was quicker to act, everytime he had shit he took 10 minutes then folded. I think the whole table saw this, thats the reason he was being picked on the whole time last night

[mikemca]

or a couple hands where he raises and is priced in to calling a 8-10 million all in.

True doesn't hurt that he's still running like god. Can't believe he runner runner that flush to knockout Neville. Actually I wasn't that surprised. He also floppeda king top pair everytime he held a king preflop

That's the thing though. To a viewer it seems like 10 minutes but in reality it is only 1 or 2 minutes if that.

You apparently didn't watch the broadcast, just cause it was on a 30 minute delay does not mean we didn't see the whole hand playout. Definitely 5 minutes minimum everytime

[mikemca]

I watched it and admittedly didn't keep count but I think if you do you will rarely get past 120.

My point is they shouldn't keep having to change the game for tv. They already have to show their hole cards which is ridiculous that their rail can tell them what everyone had 30 minutes later while the game is still be played. The series leading up to the final table is made for tv. There is no way to have a semi live final table made for tv. Just tape it , cut/edit it and air it next day. The people that want to watch the live stream can do so while the people that just want the action can avoid spoilers for a day and watch the national broadcast.

And get Busquet back to provide the commentary. Not the buffoon Hellmuth talking about how he liked that light 3 bet when he cries and whines when anyone plays anything but ABC poker against him.

Wow cannulli all in with aces vs steinbergs 1010, 10 on flop for steinbergs, bad beat
