A total of 45 players started today, and we’ll be playing down to 27. The play so far could be most accurately described as certifiably insane. Multi-street bluffs are common, and several players have shown their bluffs after raking pots.
I’m not sure that either the bluffs or the tabling of cards is advisable.
One spectacular buff occurred on the turn, when Eric Lynch bet out 500k on a board of Ts-4h-8h-Th and his opponent moved in. Eric looked at his cards, T-8, and made a crying call. His opponent had Js-9s – an open-ended straight draw. The player with J-9 busted when he almost certainly could have waited for a better spot.
Among the big, crazy play, Allen Cunningham plays a steady, methodical game. He started the level with 1.2 Million and ended it with half a million more. He picked up chips in well-chosen spots. In one hand, he-reraised a button raise. In a couple of others he stole blinds.
When playing past the flop, he proceeds cautiously, controlling the size of pots by calling bets rather than raising when he thinks he’s ahead. His bets are about half the size of the pot or less.
He has yet to have a significant number of chips in play, and his style seems to be well suited for his more maniacal opponents.
More after Level 2.
