As for Khan's hand, the player with TT is an idiot to stay in the pot. He was last to act after three others had gone in. I guess he was hoping to catch a 2-outer and win huge, but still a very bad play.

I did see a very similar hand just a day or two ago. I was playing a 9-man SNG, and three people went all-in preflop with AA, KK, and QQ.

Sometimes you call even when you know you are beat. By the time it came back to him he already had 60% of his stack in the pot and a win would probably mean chip lead in the tourny.

As far as watching pros play online, I can't think of a whole lot of things that I find more boring than watching poker when you aren't involved and you don't know the cards the players hold. Probably just me.

Watching them is nice entertainment if there is nothing else on to watch. But what I always remember is that it is edited. Eight or more hours down to just one with ou are not seeing the whole tournament.

Allot of hands not seen. Not a real story. Just the good TV parts is what you get to see.

Real game my stomache tightens when in a hand (high or low limits) even when I get a straight on flop with no flush possible or when I get a flush.

Got quads once same thing, but watching..........nothing but a smile.

Fink, you would probably enjoy another feature PStars has. It is recorded games that replay showing the players hands. Sometimes a player will opt not to have his hands shown, but you see most of the players hands.
