- The Poker's Best Bits: -

Day 1c of 2008 WSOP Main Event brought us one of the all-timers of poker:

Geller raised to 900 holding KK being called by Robert Romanello with pocket jacks and Mike Matusow with pocket nines. Flop brought set for both Geller and Romanello missing Matusow. Both guys checked slow-playing their sets and being afraid of straight all guys checked the turn too, but with another ten on the river, possible straight was no longer a threat and after Matusow's third check Romanello fired with 1,800...

I'm glad Matusow was there to give that fold the reaction it deserved

Don't you love how $2 sit-n-go players who finish 7th every tournament online offer their priceless advice to players like Romanello?

People need to realise that saying you wouldve folded or that it was a bad call isnt gonna impress people, it just makes you look like a douche, and when you try explain odds and use poker lingo it doesnt make you good at poker so just shut the fk up.

Lol, for anyone that actually plays poker, this is an awful fold. He can easily be up against AT /KT (12 combos) as opposed to AA/KK (6 combos) and he's getting over 2.1 on his money. Its the most standard call in the world. Just cause he picked the right time to be a retarded nit doesn't make it correct.

@chuletas12 Dude, shut the fuck up.

As soon as Geller crossed his arms over his chest and curled up like that (body language portraying vulnerability) I would have folded. Not subtle.

Romanello said about this hand that he thought that if he called and lose that was just gonna be another hand of a huge tournament, but if he folded and was right about it it was gonna be a unic laydown. Anyway, the other guy is such a fish telling him things like "stop raising me" or "i`m not gonna show u". Great hand.

[dwiele]

easy fold vs. that nit

[gayisrave]

i would of laid a royle flush down to him in that position

[chuletas12]

Very standard laydown. The other fish tells him " please dont raise me" trying to show weakness , he is clearly a monster hand. Besides when he says he is not gonna show is also a proof of how strong he is. What would he be raising with??? jacks full is only like the fourth nuts. Pocket tens, pocket acces, pocket kings. Good play, not the best laydown ever

[69aussieguy]

@HigherPoker Ok then, why is it so lame? The commentator said that Geller had made a big pre-flop raise. I then made the comment that if he had a history of only making big pre-flop bets when he actually has a big hand, such as Aces or Kings, then it's easier to think he may've made a set when the flop was A,K,J. Which he then slow played.

Maybe it was just an incredible read by Romanello to know he was against a better full house, or maybe history gave him a hint as to what he might be against.

I also could have folded that hand, because i'm the next big thing..
