Current count: 3 Bracelets

he is chip leader by a nice margin, 1250 in blinds and antes and he raised 3x BB on a steal... anyone reraises and he folds (probably). He was called by one player and flopped 2 pair, I dont see where the bad play is? If you are stealing your cards really dont matter... his play was fine, its the donkey calling 10K after that flop with a gutshot that I dont quite get...

I don't see a bad play here either, a bit loose aggressive, but the flop hit him big and he made a nice profit from it. He can fold preflop to a reraise and most flops that hit his hand will miss his opponents, not to mention the times when a continuation bet takes it down. Good aggressive poker, that's all - now the call from A9o, that is another matter.

Big stack in 1st position can do anything at anytime. He knows people don't really want to get involved in hands with him unless he they have a monster. If he is called, he has a reasonable hand to win with if he hits his flop. If reraised he gets out with little damage to his stack. Good playing really.
